""The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award is our league's most revered honor, celebrating players for their excellence both on and off the field," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "These 32 men represent the best of the NFL, and the incredible contributions they make to their teams and communities every day continue to keep Walter's legacy alive.""
""I'm just trying to give back, be a resource, very blessed to have the platform that I have," Henry told the AP. "God has blessed me tremendously. So, I just want to do the Lord's work of giving back, being a positive influence, and reaching as many communities that have had an effect on me and just trying to be a blessing to these kids.""
Thirty-two NFL players were nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which recognizes commitment to community service and excellence on the field. Each NFL team announced its representative, and the national winner will be revealed during NFL Honors on Feb. 5. Nominees include Derrick Henry, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love and Travis Kelce. Derrick Henry has hosted annual back-to-school and holiday events, launched the Two All Carnival in 2024, supported Boys & Girls Clubs, provided COVID-19 relief, donated to disaster recovery, and given direct financial assistance to families in crisis. Baker and Emily Mayfield launched their foundation upon arriving in Tampa in 2023.
