The recipient of this season's Walter Payton Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide will be one of three veteran players with two Super Bowl rings and four Super Bowl appearances between them.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen are all finalists to be named the 2016 Man of the Year.
The winner will be announced during the NFL Honors on Feb. 4. Anquan Boldin, then a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver, was last year's recipient.
