Considered one of the league's most prestigious honors, the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide recognizes an NFL player for outstanding community service activities off the field, as well as excellence on the field. Each team presents one nominee and Maxx Crosby represents the Silver and Black. Crosby will wear a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year helmet decal through the end of the season in recognition of his accomplishments on and off the field.
Fans are encouraged to participate in Nationwide's Charity Challenge (now through January 8, 2023), a social media and online contest which gives fans the opportunity to show support for Crosby as the Silver and Black's WPMOY nominee and offers the Pro Bowl defensive end a chance to secure additional donations from Nationwide to the charity of his choice. Fans are encouraged to vote on X (formerly Twitter) by using #WPMOYChallenge and Maxx Crosby or #WPMOYChallenge and @CrosbyMaxx.
