Kendricks was announced by the NFL on Thursday morning as the Vikings nominee for the 2020 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf and General Manager Rick Spielman explained the tremendous pride they have in Kendricks during a session with media members. This award is a prestigious honor that recognizes excellence both on and off the field, and we at the Vikings have a proud history of having great players who are also outstanding men who have been nominated for this NFL award, Wilf said. This is always such an important nomination for the Vikings and our organization, but it is especially so during these trying times of 2020 with the pandemic and with social and civil unrest being felt globally and especially in Minnesota as well.
