Bills running back Ray Davis wins Week 9 NFLPA Community MVP 

Bills running back Ray Davis has been selected as the Week 9 NFLPA Community MVP after hosting a group of mentors and mentees from the local Big Brothers Big Sisters program at Highmark Stadium. Davis is only the fourth rookie to earn NFLPA Community MVP honors in the program’s 11-year history and the second rookie recognized this season.

On Tuesday Oct. 22 Davis hosted seven Bigs and Littles at Highmark Stadium and shared with them the impact that the program had on him. During the event, Davis allowed them all to ask questions, played with them and gave them a tour of the field and the locker room.

“I want for people to see that my success story could be theirs, just based on someone getting involved in being a Big to a Little, and I want to continue to advocate that. I want to continue to speak on that. I want to continue to be a role model, not only for Littles, but for Bigs… I want my Little to be able to look at me and go, ‘he did everything he could to be where he is because of all the challenges that he faced and how he had to open up,’ and I hope that my Little is willing to do the same thing… I hope it’s just a ripple effect of continuous motivation and, just the ability to change people’s lives because they wanted to continue to do the same thing that their Big did.”
