Packers RB Aaron Jones named team’s nominee for Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award

For the second consecutive season, running back Aaron Jones is the Green Bay Packers’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

Jones didn’t win the award but was the Packers’ nominee in 2021 as well.

The annual award, which was first established in 1970, represents “the NFL’s commitment to philanthropy and community impact” and serves to recognize “an NFL player for outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on the field,” per the league’s press release.

As was the case last season, Jones will wear a special decal on his helmet for the final four games of the 2022 season.
