Two is a streak.
On Tuesday, Nationwide announced that Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu won the Charity Challenge contest connected with the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Following tight end Travis Kelce, Mathieu is the second straight Chiefs player to win the Charity Challenge.
As a result, Nationwide will contribute $25,000 to the Tyrann Mathieu Foundation. Former Chiefs safety Eric Berry won the inaugural Charity Challenge during the 2015-16 NFL season.
Mathieu provided Nationwide with a statement for its release.
“I am incredibly humbled and overwhelmed with a sense of pride having been selected as this year’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Nationwide Charity Challenge winner,” said Mathieu.
