The NFL on Thursday launched the 32 nominees for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which celebrates gamers who each excel on the sector and supply a “constructive affect past the sport.”
“The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award celebrates Walter’s enduring legacy of excellence on the sector and compassion off it,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell mentioned in a information launch. “This award is the league’s most prestigious honor, and we’re proud to acknowledge these 32 excellent males for the constructive affect they make of their communities day by day.”
The award might be offered Feb. 6 throughout the NFL Honors ceremony. The winner will obtain a donation of as much as $265,000 to a charity of his selection. The others will obtain as much as $55,000 for his or her causes.
