Eagles: Jason Kelce gets emotional over Lane Johnson's surprise

"They told me about it a couple days ago," Kelce said. "And they said 'Hey, do you wanna talk about it or anything?' And I [bleep] said 'Yeah, I do wanna talk.' This award, a lot of times just goes to somebody who just gives a bunch of [explicit] money to charity and does a bunch of s--- out in the [bleep] open, right? That ain't [bleep] you. And we all know that."

Kelce continued, "But that doesn't take away what you mean to the guys in this room, in this building, these people. That's why they are [bleep] nominating you, because everybody finally [bleep] sees who you are. And when I think of a man, I think of somebody who weathers the ups and downs of life ... how you [bleep] move forward. 

"You're doing better than I've ever seen. And it's so [bleep] awesome to see. And I know it ain't all been perfect all the time, but like there ain't a mother [bleep] in the NFL who represents that better than you. That's important for you to hear." 

Johnson, 33, is easily the best active right tackle in the NFL. The former 2013 first-round pick is a huge reason for the Eagles' success and hasn't allowed a single sack in almost three straight seasons.

The winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award will be announced on Feb. 8.
