Hall of Fame Coach Tony Dungy Continues Minnesota Connections
Former Vikings Defensive Coordinator Tony Dungy, who was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in February, returned to Minnesota over the weekend to host his annual “Arise with the Guys” event. On Friday night, Dungy hosted a dinner at Hazeltine National Golf Club and recognized Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis with the fourth annual “Uncommon Award.” ESPN’s Ben Goessling covered the event. Goessling wrote:
Dungy presented Davis with the Bart Starr Award before [Super Bowl 50] in February, and had Davis in mind for this year's Uncommon Award before the Super Bowl, thanks to the linebacker's work with underprivileged children in Charlotte, North Carolina, and his stirring return from three torn ACLs in his 11-year career.
