For the second time, former Kentucky Wildcat Corey Peters has been nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

A Super Bowl ring is pretty elusive for most but former Kentucky football standout and Louisville native Corey Peters now has the distinction for the second time of being nominated for one of the NFL’s most prestigious honors.

Peters was chosen as the Arizona Cardinals’ representative for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award presented yearly to a player in recognition of his outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on it.
