Walter Payton Man of the Year

Kelce is one of the longest-tenured Eagles on Philadelphia's current roster. The four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro is the definition of excellence at the center position.

Not only has Kelce brought Philadelphia a Super Bowl title in his 11-year career, but he's known for his dedication to giving back to the community. Just this past summer, Kelce raised more than $100,000 for the Eagles Autism Foundation.

The NFL will announce the league winner for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award during NFL Honors, airing on Thursday, Feb. 10 at 9 p.m. EST. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson took home the award in 2020.
