NFL Playoffs

The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award is presented annually by the National Football League (NFL) honoring a player's commitment to philanthropy and community impact, as well as his excellence on the field.

The trophy has never been intended to specifically resemble Payton. Each year, a winner is selected from 32 nominees from the 32 different teams. A pan ...
