Anquan Boldin wins Walter Payton Man of the Year

The 49ers wide receiver's charitable efforts have been given the ultimate recognition

It's official, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin has won the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

The 49ers wide receiver has been extremely active within the communities of his home state of Florida, all three of his stops (Arizona, Baltimore and S.F.) and has heavily pushed his Q81 foundation to make sure underprivileged children will get not only a fair shot at higher education, but also dental and health care that otherwise would be unavailable. That's just scraping the surface. Give Jennifer Chan's article a read for just how active he is in the foundation and the community.
