The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award is the most prestigious honor an NFL player can receive. The recipient of the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award will be announced on February 10, 2022.
 
Moore, who played for the Blazers during the 2013-2016 seasons, has four interceptions, seven pass break-ups and 77 tackles in 13 games this season and set the tone for the Colts' 31-0 win over the Texans in Week 13 with an interception on the first play of the game and a forced fumble that ended Houston's second possession.

"[It would mean] everything, and I think that's for anybody that haven't been on that platform before," Moore said about the possibility of making the Pro Bowl to USA Today on December 6. "I think it'll be pretty emotional for me in where I come from and starting in high school and going Division II and just beating all the odds."
