Wide receiver Cooper Kupp is the Rams' nominee for the 2024 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.
Created in 2014 in honor of late founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Rooney Sr., the award is presented annually 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.
A panel comprised of former players from the NFL Legends community – Warrick Dunn, Larry Fitzgerald, Curtis Martin and Leonard Wheeler – will trim down the 32 nominees to eight finalists; four in the AFC and four in the NFC. Current players will then vote on the award winner in December on the Pro Bowl ballott, with the eight finalists listed under the NFL Sportsmanship Award category.
Voted a team captain for a fifth time by his teammates this season, Kupp leads the Rams with 548 receiving yards on 77 receptions, while his five receiving touchdowns are second-most on the team.
