Yeah, me too. But this award is also for things he does "off the field" in his charity work and things done for the community. I'm not too familiar with his charity work, but I'm sure he is doing something.

Tank has had his critics among the fan base over the years. But not me. I think he has been a true asset to the team and organization. He has been a loyal Cowboy for several seasons. Glad to see him get the recognition.

DeMarcus Lawrence has long been an agent of chaos on the field, making a career out of altering the game plans of opposing quarterbacks. But the Cowboys defensive end is also a relentless instrument of change off the field, too, and he’s being recognized for that work with his latest accolade.

Lawrence is the Cowboys’ nominee for the 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

Quarterback Dak Prescott, who won the award last year, surprised Lawrence with the announcement on Monday.

I think it is really awesome that he got the nomination. He is Cowboy for life. But.. no way the league gives it to a Cowboy player 2 years in a row. Sucks for DLaw

There are thirty-two players = individuals that are nominated by their team franchises that want the league to know what they do outside of their performance in the sport.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's almost like someone tied a $50 bill on a string. Well, I hope it feels like an honor to be nominated.

Big congratulations and thank you to DeMarcus Lawrence! One of the oldest veterans on this team. He has contributed to the DFW area and local community every year he's been in the league. DeMarcus Lawrence is most certainly deserving of the Walter Payton Man Of The Year award! I wish there was a trophy given to every player of every team who dedicates so much of their time and effort to help their local communities.

It is narrow-minded of you to think Lawrence doesn't get selected for the award because his teammate was honored the previous year.

Every team selects a player that they feel did such outstanding service to the community that they could be a worthy recipient of 'NFL Man of the Year'.

If you review the list --there are just as many players nominated who are not known nationally around the league for their performance in the game - unlike the "stars" we NFL fans see and hear about each week during the season - a number who were selected by their teams for their contributions away from the sport - to be a candidate.

It is a difficult decision to single out one individual's work to be above his 31 other peers - that is why the league has everyone of them be present every year at the Super Bowl to be seen and acknowledged.

It's not narrow minded to think the league might want to spread the accolades to another team.

Just please do us Cowboys fans a favor and leave the Hot Boyz chain in the safe at home.
