Bears defensive tackle Justin Jones is the team’s nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
Beginning this week, Jones and the other 31 nominees will wear a helmet sticker to recognize their achievement. The winner will be announced during NFL Honors on Feb. 8 as part of the lead up to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
The trophy, which honors players who excel on the field and make a positive impact off of it, was created in 1970 and named after the former Bears star running back in 1999.
