Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.
Today is the day that all 32 NFL teams announce their nominees for the annual Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, and this year’s nominee for the Minnesota Vikings is a very deserving one.
The team has nominated fullback C.J. Ham for this year’s honor, for which he will be recognized during Super Bowl week in New Orleans. The winner of this year’s award will be announced during the NFL Honors ceremony the Thursday before the Super Bowl.
