GREEN BAY — Packers DB Micah Hyde and G T.J. Lang have been given the 2016 Tom Mulhern Stand-Up Guy Award by the Green Bay chapter of the Professional Football Writers of America.
The award is presented to the Packers player(s) voted to have best helped reporters covering the team to do their jobs effectively.
Lang was voted to his first Pro Bowl in 2016 after playing in 16 games (including playoffs) despite a lingering foot injury that caused him to miss three games.
The eighth-year veteran also was selected as a playoff captain for the first time in his career, as determined by a team vote.
