Running back Jamaal Williams is one of the most fan-friendly players in the entire NFL. The Lions RB has an effervescent personality and ever-present smile, even during the game.
Williams keeps the game fun for everyone. And his attitude gets noticed. Williams is the Detroit Lions nominee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award for 2021. The NFL revealed the nominees from all 32 franchises on Thursday.
Each NFL team nominated one of its own players for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. The honor recognizes players around the league who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship on the field.
Center Frank Ragnow was Detroit’s nominee last season. No Lions player has ever won the award.
