The Washington Football Team announced on Thursday morning that they have nominated veteran defensive lineman Jonathan Allen for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award. The award, which went to Calais Campbell in 2019, is presented to the top player in the NFL who shows an outstanding presence in community service activities, as well as excellence on the field. All 32 teams in the NFL announced a nominee for the award.
According to a release from the WFT, they nominated Allen “for his deep commitment to the community. Throughout his time in Washington, he has participated in a number of events hosted by the Washington Football Charitable Foundation.”
We have seen Allen routinely making a difference off the field, and he is having a Pro Bowl level season on the field this year as well. Through 12 games, he has 45 total tackles, two sacks, and 9 QB hits. His presence has made Washington’s defensive line one of the best in the NFL, and he’s established himself as a true man of Washington.
