“I think every guy has a story to tell in here,” Bulaga said. “I think every guy has a different personality, has gone through different things. Whenever fans, or maybe not even fans of football, see interviews and see guys speak, you get to know them a little better, I think that’s a positive.”
Crosby, who has appeared in 208 consecutive regular-season games for Green Bay, tied Jan Stenerud’s single-season franchise record for accuracy in 2019, converting on 22 of 24 field-goal attempts.
Off the field, Crosby and his family overcame a lot of personal adversity this year after his wife, Molly, was treated for a cancerous tumor in her lung during training camp. Three months later, Crosby’s sister-in-law, Brittany, passed away at the age of 30 following a three-year battle with ovarian cancer.
While private by nature, Mason and Molly felt it important to get their message out and offer support to others who have been affected by cancer.
“We have an amazing platform here,” Crosby said. “I appreciate y’all for allowing us to kind of put some of our personal stuff out there in that platform to reach fans, and tell our fans that they’re not alone, and that we appreciate the support, as well. For me, I am somewhat of a private guy with some of our family stuff but it meant a lot to me to be able to share our story and feel that support.”
The Stand-Up Guy Award is named after the late Tom Mulhern, a former Packers and Wisconsin Badgers beat writer for the Wisconsin State Journal and Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel who passed away at age 56 in October 2014.
