KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie is the team’s nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, which has been given annually since 2014 to a player who exemplifies sportsmanship on the field.
McDuffie, who is in his second NFL season, ranks second on the Chiefs with 55 tackles, including two for a loss, and recorded his first multi-sack game on Monday against Philadelphia.
A soft-spoken 2022 first-round pick from Washington, McDuffie has five passes defended and an NFL-best five forced fumbles on the season.
All 32 NFL teams nominate a player. The winner will be announced during NFL Honors in conjunction with Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
The winner receives a $25,000 donation to a charity of his choice.
The award is named in honor of late Pittsburgh Steelers owner and founder Art Rooney.
The NFL Legends Community will select eight finalists from each conference.
