Safety Rodney McLeod has been nominated for the prestigious award
Cleveland Browns safety Rodney McLeod has officially been nominated for the 2024 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.
The award is given to one player each season who demonstrates the on-field qualities of great sportsmanship including fair play, respect for opponents, and integrity in competition.
Each NFL team can nominate one player every year and a panel of the “NFL Legends Community” comprised of former players, selects the winner. Along with the physical award, the winning player also receives a donation from the NFL Foundation to send to a charity of their choosing.
Current Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner was the 2023 winner.
