On and off the field, Detroit Lions’ All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is a great human being. So it should come as no surprise that he is one of 32 nominations for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

Announced during the NFL Honors show, the winner of the award will receive a $250,000 donation to the charity of their choice, while each player receives up to a $55,000 donation simply for being nominated.

As someone who lost his father while still in college at the University of Arkansas, Ragnow is passionate about helping families that are in the grieving process.
