Bears nominate DJ Moore for Walter Payton Man of the Year award

The Chicago Bears have chosen wide receiver DJ Moore as their nominee for the 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

Every year, the NFL gives out this award to a player who has done incredible work in their community, and it’s got to be extra special for Moore to be the nominee for the team Payton played for himself.

The “Moore2Life” foundation works to help inner-city youth throughout Chicago:

Just check out the awesome video of Jarrett Payton, Walter’s son, surprising Moore in person with the news at Halas Hall:

Congrats to Moore on such an incredible and well-deserved honor, and kudos to him for all the awesome work he does off the field while being a superstar for the Bears between the lines.
