The Bears on Tuesday honored tight end Zach Miller and safety Adrian Amos as the 2015 winners of the prestigious Brian Piccolo Award during a ceremony at Halas Hall.
The honor has been given to a Bears rookie since 1970 and was expanded in 1992 to include a veteran. Bears players vote for teammates who best exemplify the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of Brian Piccolo, a Bears running back who died from embryonal cell carcinoma on June 16, 1970 at the age of 26.
"It truly is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this team and accept this award in Brian's name," Miller said.
