Alexander, Fletcher Win Community Award

Washington Redskins linebackers Lorenzo Alexander and London Fletcher today were announced as the NFL Players Association’s annual PULSE Award winners for outstanding work in the community.

Alexander and Fletcher were voted by their teammates during annual NFLPA locker room meetings and received monetary donations for their foundations or a charity of their choice, according to the NFLPA.

Alexander and Fletcher will also be eligible to submit applications for the Byron “Whizzer” White Award, the highest honor the NFLPA can bestow on a player. The award was established by the professional football players of America to “acknowledge a debt of gratitude to one of their own, Supreme Court Justice Byron Raymond “Whizzer” White—scholar, athlete, patriot, humanitarian and public servant.” The NFLPA presents this prestigious annual award “to the player that is just as dedicated off the field as he is on the field.”

Both Alexander and Fletcher are very deserving recipients of this year’s NFLPA Pulse Awards.
