The Pro Football Writers of America announced that retired Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long is their 2019 Good Guy Award winner.
Long previously received this honor last year. He’s the first ever recipient to win more than once.
The Good Guy Award is given to an NFL player for his qualities and professional style in helping pro football writers do their jobs. The award has been presented annually by the PFWA since 2005.
Long was commended by local and national media alike for his willingness to provide thoughtful, in-depth answers on a variety of topics ranging from football to social justice to a host of other issues surrounding the league, both on and off the field.
