The second-year LB has done important work off the field.

While the Miami Dolphins have been doing great things on the field, a number of players have been making as much of an impact off of it.

Dolphins second-year linebacker Jaelan Phillips has been doing such great work that he’s been named the team’s 2022 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award nominee.

Phillips was lauded for his time spent visiting and impacting the lives of incarcerated youth in South Florida as a rookie, and he’s continued that work this year.

With the announcement, the team produced a video showcasing some of the amazing things that he’s done.

According to the NFL’s website, the winner of the award will receive $250,000 donated to a charity of their choice while all other nominees receive up to $40,000 to their charity.
