Nick Chubb represents the Cleveland Browns as the team’s nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. The team selected Chubb for the nomination, joining one player from all 32 NFL franchises.
From the NFL’s press release,
The winner of the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award is determined by a vote of current NFL players. From the eight finalists, each team’s players will submit a consensus vote of their choice for the winner. As in Pro Bowl voting, a team cannot vote for its own player.
The award is presented each year to an NFL player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.
The players will vote for the winner in December as part of the Pro Bowl balloting process.
Congrats to Chubb for setting such a strong example in just his second NFL season!
