The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, the esteemed honor recognizing players who excel both in games and in society – for 2025 has officially announced nominees from each team. And for the Saints, it's none other than Demario Davis, the legendary linebacker in his 14th season! At 36 years old, Davis is not only a defensive pillar with a team-leading 111 tackles after 12 games (his 9th consecutive season with at least 100 tackles, totaling 11 seasons), but he has also played 100% of the defensive snaps this season. Since signing with New Orleans before the 2018 season, he's only missed exactly one game due to injury – an "indestructible" record that fans have to admire!

13-year streak of starts for Demario Davis is coming to an end

But what makes Davis stand out even more is his golden heart. As a familiar figure in New Orleans and the Gulf South region, Davis always dedicates time, resources, and energy to charitable activities through the Devoted Dreamers Foundation, run by him and his wife Tamela. This year, he partnered with The 18th Ward organization to build a leadership development program, meeting directly with 25 young people weekly to discuss ways to lead in service to the community. This group also organized a food and hygiene product drive on the Monday before Thanksgiving, collaborating with the local nonprofit Clover to distribute to struggling families. These efforts not only change lives but also inspire the younger generation!

Davis shared humbly: “I am truly humbled to be selected as the team winner for the 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year. Growing up in Mississippi, Walter Payton the football player was always someone I admired. As I grew older, learning about the things he did for the community only increased my respect for him. Through the Devoted Dreamers Foundation, we are more committed than ever to developing youth into dynamic young people who will lead this community into the future.”

With 5-time All-Pro accolades and a "community warrior" spirit, Demario Davis is completely deserving of this nomination. But he needs your support!

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
