According to the NFL, the award is presented to the player “who demonstrates the qualities of outstanding sportsmanship on the playing field, including fair play, respect for opponents and integrity in competition.”
Established in 2014, the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award was named to honor the late founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Art Rooney Sr.
Since being established seven seasons ago, the award has been presented to Larry Fitzgerald, Charles Woodson, Frank Gore, Luke Kuechly, Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater.
The last seven Giants nominees were Jameel McClain, Rashad Jennings, Victor Cruz, Justin Pugh, Rhett Ellison, Dalvin Tomlinson and Logan Ryan.
The 2021 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award winner will be revealed at the NFL Honors show on Thursday, February 10 on ABC. They will also receive a $25,000 donation to a charity of their choice.
