Eagles safety Brian Dawkins has been named one of the three finalists for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award, which is presented annually at the Super Bowl. The prestigious Payton Award is presented to a player for both his playing excellence and off-the-field community service work.

The other two finalists are Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner and Minnesota center Matt Birk.
