2019 Walter Payton Man of the Year Nominee: Jarvis Landry

In his 1993 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech, Walter Payton recognized the impact we all can have on each other's lives. And the legacy of the 1977 NFL Man of the Year lives on through the actions and service of all the winners of that award which now bears his name, including Derrick Brooks, Kurt Warner, Marty Lyons, Troy Vincent, and Warrick Dunn.

When he was just 18 years old, Warrick Dunn's mother lost her life in an ambush. He was forced to become a single parent to his younger brothers and sisters. That experience drives the 2004 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year to help single parents with down-payment assistance and furnishings to set a foundation that truly supports families. It's not a handout -- it's a "hand up" to individuals who are trying to help themselves.

Growing up in the city of Trenton taught Troy Vincent tough but important lessons. And the character it developed in the 2002 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year continues to push him to give back to his community and empower those closest to its issues to find solutions. His actions certainly speak louder than words as he leaves his legacy beyond the football field.

As a member of the New York Sack Exchange, Marty Lyons gave Jets fans a reason to cheer his work on the field. Off the field, the 1984 NFL Man of the Year works even harder to give kids who are facing terminal illnesses the courage to wish for more.

Before he became a Hall of Famer, a Super Bowl champion with the St. Louis Rams, and the 2008 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, all Kurt Warner needed was a chance. An opportunity. Now, he brings those opportunities to those who need it most. And he wants us all to watch as they show what they're capable of doing.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion, and 2000 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award-winner believes that education is the foundation for future success. And when his head coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tony Dungy, didn't spend any time in his first team meeting talking about winning football games, he found his purpose.
