On Wednesday morning, the NFL announced the 32 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominees, and for the second straight season, Connor Barwin has been named the Eagles’ Man of the Year.
“Serving their communities and philanthropic causes is a strong and long-standing tradition of NFL players," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “These outstanding young men embrace and represent that important commitment of giving back to our communities. We salute and thank our players for their leadership."
It’s almost hard to imagine that Barwin is only playing in his third season in Philadelphia, considering all the work he’s put into giving back to the community during his time here.
