The NFL needs to rethink the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award

For the past 12 years, the NFL Honors has been a ceremony that celebrates the best of the National Football League year like the AP Most Valuable Player, presented by Invisalign, the announcement of the new Pro Football Hall of Fame Class, the Head and Shoulders Never Not Working Protection Play of the Year Award, and everything else in between. It’s great fun and provides fanfare right before the Super Bowl.

But I think a certain award has become shallow and outdated and needs to be revamped.

It’s the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
