New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is the winner of the 2025 Alan Page Community Award, the NFL Players Association announced on Wednesday.

The former Auburn standout received the honor for his work with the Far Rockaway, Harlem and Bronx Giants football programs, which foster police-community relations through mentorship, tutoring and sports for 150 boys across 20 schools.

“Winning this award means more than words can describe,” Slayton said. “The main goal for me and my family has always been to be able to give back to the people in our communities.

“It’s not about the recognition, but I accept this award with grace and humility. I hope it brings further light to the causes my family and I support. I am extremely grateful to be named the 2025 Alan Page Community Award Winner.”

The NFLPA will donate $100,000 to Slayton’s Left-Hand Right-Hand Foundation, which aims to help economically underserved communities, particularly involving the young and the old.

The NFLPA considers the Alan Page Community Award its “highest honor.” It is presented annually to a player who “demonstrates a profound dedication to positively impacting his team’s city and communities across the country, following in the spirit of Pro Football Hall of Famer, humanitarian and civil-rights pioneer Alan Page.”

The winner is selected by the votes of NFL players from a set of five finalists chosen from the 18 weekly Community MVPs selected throughout the 2024 NFL regular season.

Two former Alabama All-Americans also were among the finalists this year – Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly.
