The Chicago Chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America named guard Matt Slauson winner of the Bears' Good Guy Award for 2015.

Via ESPN's Jeff Dickerson:

The purpose of the Good Guy Award is to honor a player who is "professional, respectful and helpful" with members of the local media, according to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Slauson also won this award as a member of the Jets in 2011, but he said dealing with the New York media was a much different challenge.

"You guys are by far and away the best," Slauson said to members of the Chicago media, accorging to the Sun-Times.

Slauson has been a big help for the team and not just the beat writers. He has started every game this season and has even stepped in at center when needed.
