This morning, the NFL officially announced its nominees for the 2024 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, and Cleveland Browns CB Denzel Ward has been included once again.
This is Ward’s second time being nominated for the prestigious award since 2021.
The award is a way of honoring an NFL player’s commitment to philanthropy, community impact, and excellence on the field. It was originally established in 1970 and renamed in 1999 after Walter Payton, the late great Hall of Fame running back.
