Greg Olsen is Panthers 2015 Walter Payton nominee

[TN05]

Congrats Greg! Full list of nominees here.

well deserved.  only thing is it's a shame he has to follow up TD, they might shy away from giving it to Panthers in back-to-back years.

I thought this too... but I think TD had been nominated previously, so Greg could be nominated again if he doesn't get it this year.

I know Peanut was a Bear when he won Man of the Year, but wow, could you imagine have 3 consecutive Walter Payton winners on our roster?!?!?!

Two former Panthers make the list too:

Smitty and Gary Barnidge

I'd pay to see Steve give the Man of the Year speech

He'd probably just call out his former team.

A blood and guts type speech from Smitty as the Walter Payton Man of the Year winner is something I didn't know I wanted until right now.

I'm not exactly a huge Steve Smith fan anymore, but the guy does wash the feet of homeless people with his bare hands. 

If that doesn't say man of the year, I don't know what does.

Steve does great charity work. I'd love to see him win it.

[KJ89]

I would love it if Smitty won. He deserves it too and it would mean a lot to him.

Greg is a fantastic choice and super great guy. I doubt a Panther will win in back-to-back years even if it's deserved.

Assuming I can't vote for Greggy, my vote would probably go to Eric Berry. Love that guy and his story.

Cam MVP candidate?

Luke or JNO DPOY?

Rivera's name being thrown around as coach of the year?

Gettleman's being thrown around as exec of the year?

20+ Panthers in the top 10 of probowl voting?

Now Greg in the Man of the Year discussion?!

Only one conclusion....

I hope Greg wins. He deserves it.
