If you were a fan of the Minnesota Vikings on social media, odds are that you saw the hashtag #WPMOYChallenge with tight end Kyle Rudolph‘s name attached to it between Dec. 6 and Jan. 13.
These votes for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Charity Challenge came in massive numbers and the support of fans earned him a win which granted $25,000 from Nationwide to go to the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
According to the official website of the Minnesota Vikings, the support Rudolph received overwhelmed the two-time Pro Bowl player and one-time Pro Bowl MVP.
