Jared Goff named NFLPA’s Week 5 community MVP for distributing food to needy

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named the National Football League Players Association’s Week 5 Community MVP. Every week, the NFLPA recognizes an NFL player to “one player who has made a positive impact in his hometown or team city.” The honor comes with a $10,000 donation to the player’s foundation or charity of choice.

For Goff, he was recognized for helping deliver more than 40,000 pounds of fresh food to 500 families in need. On Tuesday, Goff teamed up with Forgotten Harvest, a mobile food rescue organization, to help feed needy Detroiters downtown.
