The Walter Payton Man of the Year is a terrific NFL award, handed out to the player who has done incredible work in the community in the past year, and that player gets to wear a patch on their uniforms for the rest of their careers.
What’s even better is one player per team is nominated, so you get 32 different examples of guys who have given their time and effort to help those around them.
On Thursday, the list of nominees dropped, which is listed below. We’ll hear the winner at the annual NFL Honors night in February before the Super Bowl, and Travis Kelce is on the list:
