Justin Simmons is Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee again
Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons becomes the Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for the second straight season.
The Walter Payton Man of the Year is widely regarded as one the best awards handed out at the NFL Honors for a player’s work in the community and giving back. Ever since stepping onto a football field, Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons has made it his goal to save souls and win Super Bowls.
Winning games is a great feeling. But changing someone’s life for the better, there’s nothing that tops that.
Simmons is one of the team’s best players and has risen to the conversation of best at his position. In his second straight season of taking his play to new heights, he remains the Walter Payton Man of the Year.
Other Denver Broncos players to achieve this feat are Champ Bailey, Wesley Woodyard and Rod Smith. Simmons and his wife Taryn recently created their foundation named “Justin Simmons Foundation.”
His foundation takes pride in “mentoring young people, promoting the benefits of youth sports, supporting youth education and other charitable initiatives.” All of that is listed on his foundation website.
He is a worthy candidate for the award. He is a well-grounded, team-first individual who prides himself on exactly what is mentioned above. In every single event off the field, Simmons makes it a priority to be there.
One act of kindness can change a person’s life. The Broncos safety is a God-fearing man who loves to impact lives. While winning Super Bowls does mean a lot to Simmons, touching an individual life is the best gift he could give.
All of these players deserve the award for changing lives. Simmons being nominated is an incredible honor and one that means a great deal to him.
I can’t put into words how grateful I am. I say it all the time, this is humbling for me. So many deserving of this nomination. Let’s keep showing up for each other and making the world a better place ❤️ https://t.co/Zybg26GwyT
