Greg Olsen named Man of the Year finalist

Tight end Greg Olsen has been named one of three finalists for Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Giants quarterback Eli Manning are the other finalists.

The winner of the prestigious award, which recognizes a player for his community service as well as his excellence on the field, will be announced during NFL Honors on the eve of the Super Bowl on February 4 (8-10 p.m. ET/PT on FOX).

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis won the honor two years ago.

On the field, Olsen is one of the NFL's best tight ends.
