The NFL announced the 32 nominees for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award on Tuesday.
The prize honors players for their community service work off the field as well as their excellence on it. All nominees receive a $40,000 donation to the charity of their choice and the winner of the award receives a $250,000 donation. The winner will also join active past winners J.J. Watt, Russell Wilson, and Calais Campbell in wearing a jersey patch denoting the honor.
