The Chicago Bears have nominated offensive lineman Cody Whitehair for the thirteenth annual “Salute to Service Award presented by USAA.”
“The Salute to Service Award presented by USAA acknowledges the exceptional efforts by members of the NFL community to honor and support U.S. service members, veterans, and their families.”
Last season, former Bears player and coach Ron Rivera won the award, and in 2012, Charles Tillman was honored as the award recipient.
Here’s the NFL.com press release about Whitehair:
As a veteran leader on the team, Cody consistently supports the community and particularly members of the military.
