The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday morning that fullback/tight end/superback Jason Cabinda is their nominee for the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year award. That award is presented to the player in the NFL who displayed “outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence off the field.”
“Guys like Jason Cabinda can change the world,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said in a written statement. “He is a man of principle who sets such a positive example for our entire locker room. Since the day I met him, he has embodied what it means to be a leader on and off the field.
