BOONE, N.C. — App State alum and Miami Dolphins captain Daniel Kilgore is the team's nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, which goes to the player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.
The nomination of Kilgore highlights #NFLneers for Week 11.
Kilgore, a team captain, played all 69 snaps at center in Miami's loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
A panel of former players from the NFL Legends Community – Warrick Dunn, Pro Football Hall of Famer Curtis Martin, Karl Mecklenburg and Leonard Wheeler – will select eight finalists from the 32 nominees.
