Colin Kaepernick is one of five finalists for the NFL Players Association's top honor, the Byron "Whizzer" White award for community service.
Despite not playing during the 2017 season, Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback, stuck to a 2016 pledge to donate $1 million to various community groups from San Jose to New York City where he now lives.
The other four finalists are Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, whose Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation benefits seriously ill and physically challenged children; Eagles defensive end Chris Long, who donated his 2017 salary to fund educational initiatives and to fund a scholarship at the high school he attended in Charlottesville, Va.
