Jason Kelce delivered an emotional and passionate speech to Lane Johnson on being the Eagles' nominee for this year's NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

The moment was captured on video by the Eagles back on October 11th and released today.

"Everybody finally f**king sees who you are. When I think of a man, I think of somebody who weathers the ups and downs in life, how you f**king move forward. You're doing better than I've ever seen and it's f**king awesome to see. And I know it ain't all been perfect all of the time. But there ain't a motherf***er in the NFL that represents that more than you. That's important for you to hear."

Johnson, 33, and Kelce, 36, have been playing alongside of one another of the Eagles' offensive line since 2013, almost the entirety of each of their respective careers.

Johnson has publicly discussed his personal battle with mental health related struggles, which is what Kelce is referring to in the video.

It is not the first time Kelce has spoken passionately about Johnson. Last December, when Johnson went out with an injury, Kelce talked about the importance of Johnson on the field on 94WIP.

The Eagles announced Johnson as their WPMOY nominee earlier this week.
