Wagner Named 2026 NFL Man of the Year for On- and Off-Field Impact
Bobby Wagner, a 10-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro, was named the 2026 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for his on-field leadership and extensive off-field work, including the FAST54 Fund for stroke patients, social-justice advocacy, and youth tech outreach; the Seahawks veteran—also with the Rams and Commanders—launched FAST54 after his mother’s death, and the award includes up to $250,000 to his charity plus up to $40,000 to each club nominee’s charity; he is the first Washington player to win the honor since Darrell Green in 1996.
