The Green Bay Packers honored three players Wednesday with the 2025 Tom Mulhern Stand‑Up Guy Award, recognizing their cooperation and candor with the media during the season. Running back Josh Jacobs, wide receiver Christian Watson and safety Evan Williams were selected by the Green Bay chapter of the Professional Football Writers of America.
The award celebrates players who make reporters’ jobs easier through availability, honesty and thoughtful answers, and it has become a valued locker‑room accolade in Green Bay. Jacobs and Watson each earned the honor previously, making this a repeat recognition that underscores their consistent approach to media engagement.
Jacobs, coming off a season in which he carried the offensive workload and navigated late‑season injury management, was praised for his transparency about rehab and readiness. Watson, returning from a serious knee injury the previous year, again demonstrated accessibility and detailed updates that helped shape meaningful coverage of his comeback.
Evan Williams received the award for the first time after a breakout sophomore season that paired on‑field production with steady off‑field professionalism. The third‑year safety emerged as a voice in the locker room and a reliable source for reporters seeking clarity on defensive rotations and personnel changes.
