Patriots defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. named Week 6 Community MVP by the NFLPA

Every week, the NFL Players Association names the league’s Community MVP, honoring charitable work and involvement off the field. This week, for the first time all season, a member of the New England Patriots was honored: defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. has been announced as the NFLPA’s Community MVP for Week 6 after hosting a free block party at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s Mattapan Teen Center on October 13.

“It’s an honor to receive the NFLPA Community MVP. I first thank the Most High God for giving me the opportunity daily to spread love and positivity,” said the 25-year-old about receiving the award.
