Fourth-year pro recognized for his dedicated community service.
After tight end Dwayne Allen accepted a plaque as the Indianapolis Colts’ recipient of the @Walter Payton Man of the Year award Wednesday, he expressed humility in calling himself “undeserving.”
Then the fourth-year pro stood outside of the locker room and shook hands with every member of the media to thank them.
That’s the kind of guy Allen is.
Admired by teammates as much as fans and media, Allen is as engaging an athlete as the Colts have had in recent years. The annual award was bestowed upon him for countless hours spent trying to make a difference in the community.
