Ravens’ Kevin Zeitler among eight finalists for the 2023 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award

The NFL announced today that the Ravens had a familiar name among the eight finalists for the 2023 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. 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 finalists, featuring four players from each conference, are defensive end Maxx Crosby (Las Vegas), linebacker Khalil Mack (Los Angeles Chargers), linebacker C.J. Mosley (New York Jets) and guard Kevin Zeitler (Baltimore) in the AFC, and safety Budda Baker (Arizona), fullback Kyle Juszczyk (San Francisco), quarterback Dak Prescott (Dallas) and linebacker Bobby Wagner (Seattle) in the NFC.

A panel of former players from the NFL Legends Community selected the eight finalists from the 32 NFL club nominees. The panel comprises Warrick Dunn, Larry Fitzgerald, Curtis Martin, and Leonard Wheeler. The eight finalists will be listed on the Pro Bowl ballot under the NFL Sportsmanship Award category.

A vote of current NFL players determines the winner of the NFL Sportsmanship Award, which will be announced as part of NFL Honors.
