Clarification:
We've been seeing some misinformation about this award, so let's clear it up for all the non-football fans: Swifties are not giving Travis the award.
The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award (WPMOY) is the highest honor in the NFL. It's an individual award that recognizes excellence on and off the field. One player from each team gets nominated every year by their fellow players (not the public). To be nominated is a huge honor, and each nominee gets to wear a special helmet decal for the last few games of the season, once the nominations go out. Every winner gets to wear the WPMOY jersey patch for the rest of their playing years.
You have to perform at a high level for the season and also have significant charity work, community action, or some other type of giving back. A single donation doesn't cut it. Nominees are usually doing hours of work off the field, whether that's visiting hospitals, distributing food, creating anti-bullying messaging or more. Most nominees are doing multiple types of giving back.
The WPMOY winner joins the panel to pick the winner for the next year, then presents the next winner with the award, like Miss America.
It really can't be overstated that this is a high honor based on careful consideration from current NFL players and staff. You have to be nominated by your team. You have to be selected by the upper echelon of the NFL commissioner, the previous winner, and a panel of former players. It's not a fan vote.
