EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Mark Herzlich’s incredible story added another chapter today when the NFL announced that he is the Giants’ 2017 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award nominee.
The Man of the Year Award is presented by Nationwide. It is named for Chicago Bears Pro Football Hall of Fame running back, Walter Payton, who died in 1999.
Although he has been on injured reserve all season, Herzlich is an ideal candidate for the award, which recognizes an NFL player for outstanding community service activities off the field as well as excellence on the field.
