This year, the Seahawks' own Tyler Lockett is nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award. The honor of winning the Man of the Year award, Lockett said, means more to him than any on-field success.
"That's an award that, I think, is better than the Super Bowl," he said. "To be highlighted for something that's outside of football, that has nothing to do with my playing on the field, that has nothing to do with any of that type of stuff, just the person that I am and my heart, that's something that means everything to me."
The wide receiver and founder of the Light It Up Foundation hopes to become the second consecutive Seahawk to win the award after quarterback Russell Wilson received the honor last year.
