Bears linebacker Jack Sanborn and former Bears running back David Montgomery received the Brian Piccolo Award on Tuesday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest.
The Piccolo Award is voted on by Bears players, who select one rookie and one veteran teammate who they feel best exemplified the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of the late Brian Piccolo.
After Piccolo's death, the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund was established to fight the disease and has since turned its attention to fighting breast cancer. Members of the Piccolo family were on hand to present the award Tuesday. Montgomery, who signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions last month, was not present to receive the award. Montgomery is now a two-time winner of the award after earning the rookie honor in 2019.

I think any award that is voted on by your teammates, by the players, holds a little more weight.""This was always my goal, to be playing in the league here," Sanborn said."I wouldn't call it overachieving.
