Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander has been selected as the Redskins’ 2010 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.

The award is given to one player from each NFL team who has displayed an exceptional commitment to community and charitable work.

“Being able to enrich myself in the Washington, D.C., community and gain their support and make this community better than it was before I got here, it’s an awesome feeling,” Alexander said on Thursday. “This is my home. I plan to stay here after I’m done playing and I want to continue to do [charity work].”

Call me old fashion but ive never equated being a nice guy with being a good player. Its great that some players like to be nice guys off the field, but to me its never been a motivating factor in deciding how good a player is, in my opinion his play solely dictates that.
