Calais Campbell Named 2019 Walter Payton NFL Man Of The Year

Feb 2, 2020 11:23 AM

Calais Campbell has been named the 2019 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.

Campbell is a five-time Pro Bowler and formed the CRC Foundation which enhances the community through the teaching of critical life skills to young people.

"My goal when I give back is to inspire people; to encourage people to believe that dreams are achievable if you put the work in," Campbell said at NFL Honors. "Everybody, and I mean everybody, can give back. Wherever you are in your life, it doesn't matter where you are in your life, but reach back and help someone. It's our duty to help our neighbors. Even if you can only give five minutes to someone in need, give it to them. That one-on-one quality time, that little bit of extra time can make a world of difference. Those five minutes can change a life. Walter Payton spent time with my coach, which, in turn, ended up having a strong impact on me. Walter Payton strived to have an impact on the world; we should all strive to be more like Walter Payton."
