The NFL Players Association has named Pittsburgh Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz as its Community MVP for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. The award recognizes Kuntz's contributions off the field during the week leading up to the Steelers' Week 9 matchup.
Kuntz, who has served as Pittsburgh's primary long snapper since 2021, earns the weekly honor for his community service efforts. The NFLPA's Community MVP program highlights players making positive impacts in their team cities and hometowns throughout the regular season.
Each weekly winner receives a $10,000 grant from the NFLPA to donate to a charity of their choice, with the season-long winner receiving an additional $25,000 grant. Kuntz becomes the latest Steelers player to earn the distinction this season.
