The NFL announced the 32 nominees for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award, which honors a player for his charitable work off the field.
One player from each team is nominated for the award and will all receive $5,000 each from the NFL Foundation and Nationwide for the charity of their choice. Three finalists will be announced in January and the winner will be announced at the NFL Honors show, which airs on Feb 6, the night before Super Bowl 50, on CBS.
The winner receives $50,000 from the NFL Foundation and the two runner-ups receive another $6,000 each.
"Serving their communities and philanthropic causes is a strong and long-standing tradition of NFL players," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "These outstanding young men embrace and represent that important commitment of giving back to our communities. We salute and thank our players for their leadership."
The award is named after the late Chicago Bears great Walter Payton, who died in 1999. You can read all about the nominees here.
