The 'Walter Payton Man of the Year' quiz

Calais Campbell has played in 18 NFL seasons, 278 games and recorded 117.0 sacks in his decorated career. 

But as he prepares for his 19th season as a professional, it seems he won’t reach the two-decade milestone. Campbell – who played in Baltimore for three seasons from 2020-22 – signed a one-year contract to rejoin the Ravens for the first year of the Jesse Minter-era in May. But with mandatory minicamp is underway, he revealed his probable plans for the future. 

“I always tell myself – and this year I feel it as strongly as ever – that this will be my last year,” he said.

“I know I said that last year and the year before, but I genuinely meant it at the time. As of right now, I’m playing this year as if it’s my last.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Aside from his productivity on the field, Campbell is considered one of the best people in the NFL as well, which was recognized with his 2019 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. With that being said, how many of the players to be honored as the Walter Payton Man of the Year since 2000 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
