Ravens veteran center Matt Birk was named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year on Saturday night, recognition for his consistent play on the field and his commitment to community endeavors. Birk is the first Ravens player to win the award, given annually to recognize a player’s community service and playing excellence. The announcement was made at the “NFL Honors” award show in Indianapolis, site of Sunday’s Super Bowl. Birk, a 14-year veteran who has played the past three seasons with the Ravens and is contemplating retirement, had been his team’s NFL Man of the Year recipient eight times and a finalist for the national award in 2008 before winning this season. He was selected over two other finalists — San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and Chicago Bears defensive back Charles Tillman — by a search panel that included NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, former commissioner Paul Tagliabue, Connie Payton (Walter’s widow), Pro Football Hall of Famers Frank Gifford and Anthony Munoz, executive director of the NFL Alumni Association George Martin, 2010 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Madieu Williams (Maryland), and Sports Illustrated writer Peter King.
