Two Seahawks received honors Wednesday.
First, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman was named the Seahawks’ Man of the Year for his work in the community as well as his play on the field. That makes Sherman Seattle’s nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
Sherman is heavily involved in providing support to students in low-income communities through his foundation, Blanket Coverage.
Also, quarterback Russell Wilson was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 12.
Wilson went 21-for-30 for 345 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in Seattle’s 39-30 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday. The five touchdown passes tied a franchise record, and the 345 passing yards were a career high.
It was Wilson’s fifth player-of-the-week honor in his four seasons.
