Buffalo Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander was named the team’s finalist for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award this week.
The award was created in 2015 to honor late Pro Football Hall of Famer and Steelers owner Art Rooney.
The winner of the NFL Sportsmanship Award is determined by a vote of current players. A panel of former players from the NFL Legends Community will select eight finalists from the 32 original nominees, one coming from each team.
That panel will include Warrick Dunn, Curtis Martin, Karl Mecklenburg and Leonard Wheeler.
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.
