The Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t go back-to-back defensive linemen winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. After Cam Heyward took home the prestigious honor last year, DL Larry Ogunjobi wasn’t selected as this year’s recipient. The Steelers’ nominee, the award went to Jacksonville Jaguars DL Arik Armstead.
