From a personal standpoint, I couldn't be happier to write this sentence:
Kansas City Chiefs G Brian Waters has won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.
Wow.
KMBC 9 is the first to report the development citing a source close to the NFL.
I spent Friday morning in a Fort Lauderdale ballroom announcing Waters, Mike Furrey and London Fletcher as finalists for the award.
Clark Hunt, Denny Thum and other Chiefs officials were in attendance and, from the looks on their faces, they were proud to have Waters representing them.
This puts the Chiefs all by themselves with five Man of the Year winners, an NFL record.
Waters joins this elite crew of Chiefs to win the award: Len Dawson, Willie Lanier, Will Shields and Derrick Thomas.
Here's a photo of the statue:

Wow
I had no idea that we hold the record now, that’s impressive and says alot about the Chiefs organization.
congrats and well earned brian waters
Ill tell you, I have been around a lot of players, but when it comes to great people Brian Waters is up there with Will Shields, and I must also add, London Fletcher would definitely be on that list, with ex ram teammates roman phifer and dmarco farR(both retired)
so glad that he won, and I also appreciate how he handled questioning about the haley/waters/whitlock debacle.
Vince Wilfork will be Scott Pioli's top offseason priority and will be a Chief.
KC Will Trade Derrick Johnson=
This is great
Not only for Brian, but for the entire Chiefs organization. Not only does it say how much of a stand up guy Brian is, but also the Chiefs organization through our history.
Well deserved for Mr. Waters.
He earns it and has deserved it.
Maybe LJ can win Worst Man of the Year. He’d win in a landslide.
"Charles In Charge"
"Defense Wins Championships"
impossible.
if it was called the worst “MAN” of the year, he wouldnt qualify
but good for B-dub…congrats to him for sure!
Just like novocaine. give it time; always works..
The greater the fall, the grander the ascention..
Alright Maybe we can settle for...
Biggest Baby of the year
"Charles In Charge"
"Defense Wins Championships"
Waters definitely deserves it
Its great too see how much our players try to help other people.
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
Congrats
Way to go Mr. Waters! Glad to see your dedication to the game and the community.
We may not have the most SBs, but we have the most Man of the Year Winners.
When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.
RIP Chris Henry #15 (Bengals)
RIP Derrick Thomas #58 (Chiefs)
Perseverance
you think the right 53 takes time? The RIGHT FIVE only took 40 years

Class act! Congradulations Mr. Waters!
So you think you are so important that no one can replace you? Put your finger in a bucket of water and pull it out. Does it leave a hole? Nope, just some ripples that eventually calm themselves!
