For all the good Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner has done in the community, he has never been interested in receiving credit for his deeds.
Bobby has led numerous events to support important causes, including “Walk with Wagner” for stroke awareness in the Seattle community, as well as “Bwagz Sees You,” where he delivered supplies to nine homeless encampment sites throughout the city and purchased nine homes for these sites. Each year he hosts numerous holiday shopping events around Thanksgiving and Christmas to support those in need with groceries or Christmas presents. Beyond the Seattle community, Bobby has partnered with nonprofit Generosity Feeds and MOD Pizza to pack meals for 10,000 children in his hometown of Ontario, California, and last year hosted a bowling event for 54 youth from the Orlando community while he was in town for the Pro Bowl. He has been a frequent speaker to youth and coaching organizations, including the Man Up Conference and Coaching Boys into Men, where he spoke about overcoming adversity and becoming an NFL player. Bobby has also spent this season showing his support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, wearing sweatshirts from a different HBCUs after road games.
But whether he was looking for it or not, Bobby received some well-deserved recognition when he was named the Seahawks’ nominee for the 2019 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes the NFL players who have not only exhibited excellence on the field, but whose passion to impact lives extends beyond the game and has led them to leave a positive legacy in their communities.
Bobby attended NFL Honors in Miami where he was officially recognized as a Man of the Year nominee. We were happy to be a part of the journey and be on-site with him to share in the honor bestowed upon such a well-deserving person!
