The Walter Payton award is, an award that honors both your field work, and your involvement in the community.
History

I set my self up dressed in my old-school, long-sleeved Ray Nietzsche jersey in honor of the throwback jerseys the Pack was wearing from the 1930's and 40's. Soon kick off was upon us.…
