Earlier today the Chicago Bears announced that running back David Montgomery and defensive lineman Nick Williams were the 2019 recipients of the team’s annual Brain Piccolo Award.
The award, which is voted on by the players, has been awarded annually to a rookie since 1970 and to a veteran since 1992, with the winners being the players that “best exemplify the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of Brian Piccolo.”
Both Montgomery and Williams, who is now a member of the Detroit Lions, issued statements on the honor.
