Every year the NFL uses the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award to recognize the best of the best in the community. Established in 1970 and renamed in 1999 to honor the late Bears great Walter Payton, the accolade is given to the player who best exemplifies on- and off-field service, with all 32 teams nominating someone who’s made a significant positive impact in their community.
This year’s winner will be announced at the annual “NFL Honors” show on Thursday, Feb. 8, on CBS, the week of Super Bowl LVIII. They will also receive a $250,000 donation toward a charity of their choice. In the meantime, here are all 32 of this year’s nominees, who can allocate up to $55,000 in donations toward selected charities:
