The Patriots not only embrace excellence on the field, but also off the field. We hear various stories about Patriots players doing great things for the New England community. For the second consecutive year, Patriots safety Devin McCourty has been nominated by the NFL Players Association for the Byron “Whizzer” White award, which recognizes players for going above and beyond in their service to the community. Devin’s twin brother Jason was also nominated for the award by the NFLPA.
The McCourty twins partnered with the Sickle Cell foundation back in 2013, raising money to raise awareness and help fight against the disease.
