Walter Payton Man of The Year

 

Congratulations to all of the 2021 Walter Payton NFL Award Nominees, especially the sons of PFPMA Members Nicole Ward (DENZEL WARD) &  Charlotte Heyward (CAMERON HEYWARD)  

The Cleveland Browns named Defensive Back Denzel Ward (son of Nicole Ward) as their nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

 

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers  named Defensive Tackle Cameron Heyward (son of Charlotte Heyward) was also nominated by his teammates as the team’s honoree for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

 

 

The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award recognizes an NFL player for his excellence on and off the field. The award was established in 1970. It was renamed in 1999 after the late Hall of Fame Chicago Bears running back, Walter Payton. Each team nominates one player who has had a significant positive impact on his community.

Representing the best of the NFL's commitment to philanthropy and community impact, 32 players are selected as their team's Man of the Year and become eligible to win the national award.

The winner of the award each year receives a $250,000 donated to the winner's charity of choice. All other 31 nominees receive up to $40,000 donated to their charity of choice. All donations are courtesy of the NFL Foundation and Nationwide.

Here's how you can help Denzel and Cameron:
