Derek Carr named Week 17 NFLPA Community MVP

Here’s some good work from Derek Carr — the New Orleans Saints quarterback was recognized as the NFLPA’s Week 17 Community MVP for his charitable efforts.

In the spirit of the season, Carr and his wife Heather gifted nine local families with Christmas gifts and $5,000 each at a special holiday luncheon. It’s good to see them giving back to the community and working to make a positive impact.

Here’s more from the NFLPA on the award:

In recognition, each week during the regular season, the NFLPA #CommunityMVP program honors one player who has made a positive impact in his hometown or team city.

For being named Community MVP, the NFLPA will make a $10,000 donation to the player’s foundation or charity of choice so that they can continue to make a difference.

Previous weekly winners have included Darius Slayton (New York Giants), Camryn Bynum (Minnesota Vikings), and Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears), who you can read more about here.
