EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J – The NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award is given to the player on each team who displays excellence on the football field and in the community, so it’s perfectly logical that Eli Manning is the Giants’ recipient for the fifth time.
In addition to his role as the team’s most indispensable player, Manning helps a long list of causes and organizations that improve the lives of thousands of people every year.
Each of the 32 teams has a Man of the Year who is eligible to win the league award.
