Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is the team’s nominee for the 2019 Walter Payton Man of the Year.
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise with all the work Rudolph does in the community, especially with the Children’s Hospital.
The team went all-out in its efforts to get Rudolph the award last season. While Rudolph didn’t win, that doesn’t take anything away from what he did, and what he continues to do.
If you want a refresher on what Rudolph has done for the state of Minnesota, see the video below. Make sure to grab some tissues.
