New York Giants defensive end former Boston College star Mathias Kiwanuka has been voted the winner of the ninth annual George Young Good Guy Award by the Giants' chapter of the Professional Football Writers of America. The award, named for the late general manager of the Giants, is given annually to honor a Giants player for his consistent and outstanding cooperation with the writers who cover the team on a daily basis. Kiwanuka, in his fourth NFL season, distinguished himself by being constantly available to the media and patiently answering questions, even in a difficult season for the Giants' defense. Even on days when many of his defensive teammates would be missing in action, Kiwanuka could always be counted on to stand up and talk. Kiwanuka is the second member of the Giants' defensive line to win the award in the last three years, joining Justin Tuck.
