The NFL's 32 nominees for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award were announced on Wednesday, and linebacker Stephen Tulloch was selected from the Detroit Lions.

Tulloch's bio on the NFL's official website highlights his Stephen Tulloch Foundation and his impact in the Detroit area:

A seven-person panel -- including NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Connie Payton, Walter Payton's widow -- will announce three finalists in January 2016 and the winner will be named at the NFL Honors awards show on Super Bowl Sunday Eve. Each nominee receives a $5,000 donation to the charity of his choice; the winner gets an additional $50,000 ($6,000 for runners up).
