Retired defensive end Chris Long continues to collect accolades.
The two-time Super Bowl champion and 2018 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award winner was named ESPN's Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award recipient on Wednesday.
Long famously donated his 2017 salary with the Philadelphia Eagles to benefit educational equality. He also founded a program that provides clean drinking water for more than 225,000 people in East Africa.
The 34-year-old retired in May after 11 seasons in the NFL with the Eagles, New England Patriots, and the then-St. Louis Rams.
