By Seth Carlson | Jun 05 2019
NFL writers think former NFL defensive end Chris Long is just a good guy, no doubt about it. And what would make them think otherwise?
After all, The former Walter Payton Man of the Year award winner and two-time Super Bowl Champ had one of the better on-field/off-the-field personalities for a pro football player.
Now, he can add a second 'Good Guy' award to his trophy cabinet.

The 'Good Guy Award' is described by the Pro Football Writers Association as an award given to players who act professional and demonstrate good qualities that help those journalists do their job adequately throughout the season.
It's the second consecutive year Long has won the award.

Long is also quite charitable, establishing a foundation and even donating a year's salary to help support education for those who were in a lesser position to receive it.
He's a good guy to the media and to the people, what more can you ask for out of a professional athlete?
