In the NFL, there are a lot of awards handed out every year. Of course, the best one is the MVP award, right? Well, in terms of being judged on how good your game is, yes. But the Las Vegas Raiders haven't had anyone win an award of that stature recently.
Last year Josh Jacobs won the rushing title, but as far as performance, there hasn't been one in some time. This year, Maxx Crosby could be up for two awards.
We know he is the best defensive player in the league right now, so he could be up for the Defensive Player of the Year Award. But there is one other one he has an actual shot at winning, and it's the most prestigious award of them all.
On Tuesday the NFL announced that Maxx Crosby has been nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which is an award that focuses solely on the community work you do. As someone who has been nominated, Crosby will wear a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year helmet decal through the end of the season.
"It is a true honor to be nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award," said Crosby. "The Raiders have a strong commitment to the community, and I share those values, so I take great pride in being nominated for such a prestigious award. Thank you to the Raiders, and congratulations to all the nominees."
