Schooler, who made the team as an undrafted free agent in 2022, was honored for his positive impact and commitment to the community. Past winners include Jerod Mayo, Jonathan Jones, Deatrich Wise Jr., Joe Cardona, Matthew Slater, Devin McCourty, David Andrews and Troy Brown, who joined Schooler on stage with owner Robert Kraft during the team’s annual Patriots Premiere event.

“I do community service because I love it, and I love being out in the community and just spending time with people, hearing their stories, and being able to affect people in a positive way,” Schooler told the team’s web site. “So to get this award — I mean, I don’t really even feel deserving of it, just because this is something I love to do. But to get this award is awesome.”
