is one of three remaining finalists for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, along with Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen and Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson.
Humbled & honored to even be mentioned in the same breath as Walter Payton. Also happy to share the nomination with @BenjaminSWatson and @gregolsen88 who are both extremely deserving. This is so much bigger than just one man. It’s about the good in all of humanity.
