Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award
Utmärkelsen Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year delas ut årligen av National Football League (NFL) för att hedra en spelares volontär- och välgörenhetsarbete, liksom hans förträfflighet på planen. Före 1999 kallades priset helt enkelt NFL Man of the Year Award. Kort efter att Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton dog (han hade själv varit mottagare 1977) döptes priset om för att hedra hans arv som humanitär person. Varje år utses en vinnare bland 32 nominerade från 32 olika lag. En jury bestående av NFL:s kommissionär, Connie Payton (Walter Paytons änka), föregående års vinnare och ett antal tidigare spelare utser vinnaren av priset. Vinnaren av Årets man får en donation på 50 000 dollar i sitt namn till en välgörenhetsorganisation som han eller hon själv väljer. De övriga 31 finalisterna får också donationer i sitt namn på 5 000 dollar vardera till välgörenhetsorganisationer som de själva väljer. Chicago Bears och Kansas City Chiefs har haft fler vinnare av priset än något annat lag, med 5 vinnare vardera.
Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award
The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award is presented annually by the National Football League (NFL) honoring a player's volunteer and charity work, as well as his excellence on the field. Prior to 1999, it was called simply the NFL Man of the Year Award. Shortly after Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton died (having been the 1977 recipient himself), the award was renamed to honor his legacy as a humanitarian. Each year, a winner is selected from 32 nominees from the 32 different teams. A panel of judges, which includes the Commissioner of the NFL, Connie Payton (widow of Walter Payton), the previous year's winner, and a number of former players select the winner of the award. The Man of the Year winner receives a $50,000 donation in his name to a charity of his choice. The other 31 finalists also receive donations in their name of $5,000 each to charities of their choice. The Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs have had more winners of the award than any other team, with 5 winners each.
