Part of the reason the Philadelphia Eagles are so easy to cheer for is they’re truly a collection of great guys from all walks of life. You can throw both past and current ‘Birds’ into that category. It’s hard to think in that vein and not bring up their former defensive end Chris Long, a guy who donated his salary to charity once.
In his final season as a player, he took home the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. Just this week, he took home another honor.
