The NFL Man of the Year award always hits home for Chicago Bears’ fans because it carries the name of a Chicago legend, Walter Payton.
Every year, each team nominates one of its own for the opportunity to win the Man of the Year honor, the last Bear to win that honor was Charles Tillman back in 2013.
Could a Chicago Bears be given the title of Man of the Year once again?
Jarrett Payton made the announcement (see below):
Burton is a deserving nominee. He is donating money all season long to the International Justice Mission ($1000 per catch, $2500 per touchdown) which is dedicated to eliminate human trafficking and the slave trade.
