The NFL announced today the 32 nominees for the WALTER PAYTON NFL MAN OF THE YEAR AWARD PRESENTED BY NATIONWIDE. Representing the best of the NFL’s commitment to philanthropy and community impact, each player was selected as his team’s Man of the Year and is now eligible to win the national award. Considered the league’s most prestigious honor, the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide recognizes an NFL player for outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on the field. First established in 1970, the national award was renamed in 1999 after the late Hall of Fame Chicago Bears running back WALTER PAYTON. “This year has presented significant challenges for us all, from the ongoing global pandemic to the continued social injustices witnessed this year,” said NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL. “The 32 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominees remind us that even in the face of adversity, players continue to raise awareness and use their voice and platform to positively impact their communities. The nominees will leave lasting legacies across the country in a time when we need leadership and strength the most.” Travis Kelce nominated for NFL Man of the Year Award TEAMNOMINEEArizona CardinalsCorey PetersAtlanta FalconsSteven MeansBaltimore RavensBradley BozemanBuffalo BillsHarrison PhillipsCarolina PanthersShaq ThompsonChicago BearsJimmy GrahamCincinnati BengalsGeno AtkinsCleveland BrownsMyles GarrettDallas CowboysJaylon SmithDenver BroncosJustin SimmonsDetroit LionsTrey FlowersGreen Bay PackersCorey LinsleyHouston TexansMichael ThomasIndianapolis ColtsJacoby BrissettJacksonville JaguarsJosh LamboKansas City ChiefsTravis KelceLas Vegas RaidersAlec IngoldLos Angeles ChargersIsaac RochellLos Angeles RamsAndrew WhitworthMiami DolphinsByron JonesMinnesota VikingsEric KendricksNew England PatriotsDevin McCourtyNew Orleans SaintsDemario DavisNew York GiantsDalvin TomlinsonNew York JetsPierre DesirPhiladelphia EaglesRodney McLeodPittsburgh SteelersVance McDonaldSan Francisco 49ersArik ArmsteadSeattle SeahawksRussell WilsonTampa Bay BuccaneersMike EvansTennessee TitansKevin ByardWashington Football TeamJonathan Allen Facebook Twitter/X Email Post navigation Travis Kelce on beating Broncos: Hats off to the Raiders 4-star recruit on the verge of flipping to Mizzou?
