February 3, 2013 – Dallas Cowboys tight end and D1 Abilene co-owner, Jason Witten, was named 2012 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year at “NFL Honors” on Saturday night in recognition of his off-the-field community service and playing excellence.
The eight-time Pro Bowler is active in several non-profit organizations, and serves as the Dallas Cowboys spokesman for “NFL Play 60″ — a program which encourages children to be active for 60 minutes a day in order to reverse childhood obesity. Witten also has his own charitable endeavor in the SCORE Foundation, which has helped fun several building projects in Texas and his native Tennessee.
