Patriots defensive veteran nominated for Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award

Perhaps the second time will be the charm for New England Patriots defensive tackle Lawrence Guy, who has been nominated for a second consecutive time for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

The prestigious award honors players that aren’t just getting the job done on the football field, but it makes a point to focus on the community efforts of individuals.

Guy has long been one of the players that has given back through charitable donations and other means through the Lawrence Guy Family Foundation, which hosts “events at local Boys & Girls Clubs, Thanksgiving giveaways for families in need, [and] back to school events & Holiday shopping sprees for local children in need.
