As a nominee, Clark will wear a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year helmet decal through the end of the season. The winner will be announced in Atlanta at the NFL Honors, the day before Super Bowl LIII and will receive $50,000 for a charity of their choice.

Use the hashtag #WPMOYChallenge + Clark, Clark could receive $25,000 for Prison Fellowship – Angel Tree, a program that helps incarcerated parents give gifts to their children during the holidays and on birthdays.
