Steelers’ Cam Heyward among finalists for Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award

PITTSBURGH — The eight finalists for the NFL’s annual Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award were named Tuesday, and a Pittsburgh Steeler is in the mix.

Defensive lineman Cam Heyward is one of the eight finalists for the award given each year to a player who “best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.”

This is Heyward’s second nomination for the award, and he joins the following other finalists:

• QB Teddy Bridgewater, Carolina Panthers
• DE Calais Campbell, Baltimore Ravens
• LB Lavonte David, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• DE Justin Houston, Indianapolis Colts
• FB Kyle Juszczyk, San Francisco 49ers
• C Jason Kelce, Philadelphia Eagles
• WR Matthew Slater, New England Patriots

The winner will be determined by a vote of current NFL players. Each team will submit a consensus vote of their choice for the winner, and the teams are not allowed to vote for their own player.
