New Orleans Saints head team physician Dr. W. Stephen Choate has been named the franchise's nominee for the NFL's Salute to Service Award, the team announced. The award recognizes exceptional efforts by members of the NFL community to honor and support members of the military community.
Choate, who serves as the team's orthopedist, has been with the organization for multiple seasons. A photograph from November 27, 2022, shows him on the sidelines at Levi's Stadium before a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Salute to Service Award is presented annually to a league representative who demonstrates an outstanding commitment to supporting service members, veterans, and their families. Each NFL team submits one nominee for consideration.
