NFL Honoring Three Walter Payton Man Of The Year Finalists

Waters_medium

SB Nation's Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride is on the ground in South Florida, providing reports, commentary and impressions from Super Bowl week.

The NFL conducted a press conference this afternoon to honor three men who are up for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Your finalists are:

  • Brian Waters, Kansas City Chiefs
  • Mike Furrey, Cleveland Browns
  • London Fletcher, Washington Redskins

It’s interesting that all three candidates come from teams that struggled mightily last season. I think that’s a testament to the work they did around their respective communities.

The winner will be announced on the field prior to Super Bowl XLIV.
