The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award is among the greatest honors for any player to receive in their career in the NFL. Each year, teams have one nominee from each of their rosters who will decide who will receive it.
The Bucs 2024 nominee is someone fans, and the entire NFL are familiar with wide receiver Mike Evans.
According to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he is considered one of the most community-minded players in franchise history. The Mike Evans Family Foundation established its Catch for Kids program in 2020, and for every yard he earns during the season, one essential item is donated to help others.
His other work includes football camps for kids, a “Catch for Christmas” event, and injecting funds to rebuild the community after Hurricane Milton and the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award will be announced during Super Bowl Week in February.
Continuing to make a positive impact in Tampa Bay, congratulations to @MikeEvans13_ on being named our nominee for Walter Payton Man of the Year! đź‘Ź
