Kansas City loves Travis Kelce, and now, more congratulations are in order for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
With fan help on social media, Kelce just won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Fan Challenge -- giving him $25,000 to put toward the charity of his choice.
Kelce was the Chiefs' nominee for the WPMOY award for his work with his 87 & Running Foundation, along with his dedication to Operation Breakthrough.
Fans using a specific hashtag could vote for Kelce, who took the lead in voting nearly a week ago.
The NFL made the announcement on Twitter Monday.
The winner of the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which is announced during the NFL Honors award special that airs the week of the Super Bowl, will receive an additional $250,000 to the charity of his choice.
The effort harkens back to the push in 2014, 2015 and 2016 by Kansas City baseball fans to make the entire American League All-Star game starting lineup a Royal affair.
