The NFL on Tuesday announced the 32 nominees for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
The NFL’s Man of the Year award was established in 1970 and renamed after late Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton in 1999. John Unitas was the league’s first Man of the Year. In 1977, Walter Payton received the award that would carry his name 22 years later.
“The Walter Payton Man of the Year is the league’s most prestigious honor and these 32 men represent their many teammates who do incredible things in their communities,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Their unwavering commitment to their hometowns and team communities embodies Walter’s spirit of giving back in a way that makes us all incredibly proud of the work they are doing every day.”
All 32 nominees will receive up to a $40,000 donation in their name to their charity of choice. The winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award will receive a $250,000 donation to the charity of their choice.
