Steve Smith Sr. In The Running For Man of the Year

In the two years that Steve Smith Sr. has been a Baltimore Raven, he has done his fair share of giving back to the community. He has hosted numerous school visits, football camps, PLAY 60 events, food distributions and worked with Samaritan's Feet of Baltimore and provided over 200 pairs of new Under Armour Shoes to the Curtis Bay community.

This past season, Smith made appearances in a competitive game of Heads Up with running back Justin Forsett at A Purple Evening and supported the Goodwill Gridiron Halloween party as a mystery guest.

He also makes it a priority to attend fellow teammates' events, and flew to back to Baltimore in the offseason to play in Lardarius Webb's annual charity softball game.

If you love Steve Smith Sr. as much as we do, for not only his passion for the game, super smile, community effort and more, help him become the 2015 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year.

"Steve Smith Sr. represents everything that is good about the NFL," explained Chad Steele, Ravens Vice President of Media Relations.

Fans still have a chance to vote for Steve by using his unique hashtag (#SmithWPMOYChallenge) on any social media platform. The player whose hashtag is used the most by December 31, 2015 will receive an additional $20,000 donation to their charity of choice, courtesy of Nationwide.
