Earlier today the NFL and the USAA announced the 32 nominees for their tenth annual Salute to Service Award, which is given to “recognize NFL players, coaches, personnel and alumni who demonstrate an exemplary commitment to honoring and supporting the military community, as nominated by NFL clubs.”
Tight end Jimmy Graham, who is in his first season with the Chicago Bears, is Chicago’s nominee.
Finalists for the award will be announced in January, with the Salute to Service Award winner revealed at NFL Honors, which is the primetime awards special that airs nationally the week of Super Bowl LV.
