Devin McCourty has been nominated for a fourth time.
The New England Patriots announced McCourty, the longtime captain, was the organization’s nominee for the 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. McCourty has been nominated three times prior — 2014, 2015 and 2018 — but has yet to claim the league-wide honor.
The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award “recognizes an NFL player for outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on the field.”
McCourty expressed how much the nomination meant to him during a conference call with reporters Wednesday.
