Off the field, Chad’s commitment to making a difference was evident, as he was honored multiple times for his charitable contributions, including winning the NFLPA’s prestigious Byron “Whizzer” White award.
Since retiring from the NFL in 2017, Chad has continued his impactful work in the Twin Cities community.
