The award used to be just the NFL Man of the Year award, but was renamed after Payton died. For whatever reason they retroactively use the name.

Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year

You can see that Payton himself is listed as having won his own award in 1977.

Makes me so sad about him dying. They didn't call him sweetness for nothing. He was a kind soul.
