The Chargers signed linebacker Thomas Davis this past offseason not only for because of the contributions on the field, but for who the person he is to add spark to the locker room and on the field with his leadership skills.
It didn’t take long for Davis to deliver that type of energy to the team upon his arrival from Carolina.
On Thursday, Davis was honored by Los Angeles as their nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. The award recognizes players who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship on the field.
Last season, the Chargers nominated tight end Antonio Gates. Gates was one of the eight finalists for the award, but quarterback Drew Brees went on to win the award.
The winner will be announced before the Super Bowl at the NFL Honors show and will be determined by a vote from current players. Eight finalists will be selected in December.
