NFL seeks nominations for Fan of the Year; Green Bay Packers fan Tom Grossi won in 2023

The National Football League will accept NFL Fan of the Year nominations through Sept. 30 to find a successor to Tom Grossi, the Green Bay Packers representative who won the 2023 contest.

Grossi is a YouTuber with a wide range of NFL content, some of it analytical, much of it wildly humorous. He is, first and foremost, a Green Bay Packers fan, but also a prolific fundraiser. Grossi raised more than $500,000 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital by visiting all 30 NFL stadiums in 30 days in the year before he was named Fan of the Year.

This year, he visited international stadiums in five countries and raised $187,775 for St. Jude's. Performing what he calls "chaotic good," Grossi's raised $1 million overall for charities.

His is a remarkable resume, but he encouraged other fans to nominate themselves or friends for the award.

"The thing that connects every Packers fan is their love for this team," Grossi said. "Regardless of your background or where you're from, if you love this team or know someone who does, apply or nominate someone.

"Getting an opportunity to represent this amazing team and fanbase was one of the biggest honors of my life, and I can't wait to read the next Fan of the Year's story."

Each team will select a Fan of the Year to represent their club at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2025. The Ultimate Fan of the Year will be named at NFL Honors, the NFL's primetime award special, which takes place during Super Bowl week in New Orleans. Fans must be 21 years or older to enter.

"Our fans consistently elevate the sport with their energy and passion, demonstrating unwavering support for their favorite team, and the international component, which will open in the coming weeks, underscores the universal power of football fandom locally and internationally," said Bob Gallo, NFL senior vice president of club business development.

The international component of Fan of the Year, which started last season, will continue as part of this year's contest. Fans abroad will be recognized in a separate NFL International campaign. The international campaign will launch in the fall, and more information will be available in coming weeks.

Fans can visit nfl.com/fanoftheyear as well as their team's website and social handles for more information.

Captain Morgan is the sponsor.
