Since 1967, the NFLPA has annually recognized one player who goes above and beyond to perform community service in his hometown and team city. The award previously named after former NFL running back and Supreme Court Justice Byron “Whizzer” White was renamed to honor Page in 2018.

Page, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, left his legacy with the Vikings both on and off the field. In addition to ransacking offenses off the field, Page also represented players’ interests through the NFL Players Association. During his 15 seasons in the NFL, 11-plus of which were with Minnesota, Page served as an NFLPA player rep (1970-74; 1976-77) and Executive Committee member (1972-75).
