On Thursday night, this year’s NFL Honors ceremony took place, and while there were no seasonal awards given to Dallas Cowboys players, it was a big night for America’s Team.
DeMarcus Ware and Chuck Howley were named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023, the former in his second year of eligibility and the latter in his 45th. The franchise now has 22 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
While bronze busts and gold jackets are given out to players for their accomplishments on the field, there is an award handed out to a single player every year that recognizes off of the field accomplishments: The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.
