Aaron Rodgers Nominated for Walter Payton Man of the Year Award

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers might be in the running for postseason hardware such as the MVP Award but add his name to another list of potential awards.

Rodgers on Tuesday was announced by the NFL as 1 of 32 nominees for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, one from each team, given to a player that represents the NFL's commitment to philanthropy and community impact.

"The winner will be announced in Arizona, the site of Super Bowl XLIX, during the fourth Annual NFL Honors awards show, a two-hour primetime special to air nationally on Saturday, Jan. 31, from 9-11 p.m. ET on NBC," according to NFL.com.

Rodgers will reportedly receive a $1,000 donation from the NFL Foundation to a charity of his choice for his nomination.
