On Tuesday morning, the NFL announced their 32 finalists — one for each club — for the league’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. The award is given each year to the NFL player who exhibits “excellence on the field, and whose passion to impact lives extends beyond the game.”
For the Chargers, that player is none other than center Corey Linsley.
Through his eight years in the NFL, Linsley and his wife Anns have been massive supporters of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County in Wisconsin. CASA is a nonprofit organization that provides abused and neglected children who are under legal protection of the court system through no fault of their own.
