Christian Kuntz named NFLPA Week 9 Community MVP

Christian Kuntz, Pittsburgh Steelers long snapper, has been named the Week 9 NFLPA Community MVP. On his team's bye week, Kuntz donated $10,000 to Pittsburgh Morrow School through his foundation, "Kuntz for Kids." The donation helped establish a resource room that will provide food, uniforms, and hygiene kits monthly for at-risk children and their families.

Kuntz expressed his pride and honor in supporting the school, stating that the contribution aims to make a lasting impact and remind students that their community stands behind them. The NFLPA will match Kuntz's donation with an additional $10,000. Kuntz, in his sixth NFL season, has played in 93 games so far. He graduated from Chartiers Valley High School and played college football at Duquesne, holding the program's career sack record.
