Conheça a lista de indicados para o prêmio Walter Payton de Homem do Ano

A NFL anunciou todos os 32 nomes que concorrem ao troféu Walter Payton  de Homem do Ano. Cada time indicou um jogador que se destacou fora do campo pelo impacto na comunidade e filantropia.

Cada um dos jogadores indicados receberá $ 50 mil dólares para serem doados a uma instituição de caridade de sua escolha e mais $50 mil para um projeto criado pela NFL chamado Character Playbook focado na educação dos jovens em todas as cidades que possuem um time.
