Julian Edelman makes pitch for Devin McCourty to win Walter Payton Award

Devin McCourty is the New England Patrots' nominee for the 2020 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, and for good reason.

The prestigious award honors a player's volunteer and charity work, as well as their excellence on the field. McCourty is involved in several charitable causes including the Innocence Project, Chromebooks for Kids, Tackle Sickle Cell and much more.

The veteran defensive back has been a Patriots captain for each of the last 10 seasons and one of their best defensive players since joining the team in 2010.

Julian Edelman doesn't want his teammate's efforts to go unnoticed.
