Terry McLaurin is Commanders' nominee for 2022 Art Rooney Sportsmanship award

Washington Commanders star receiver Terry McLaurin has been named the club's nominee for the 2022 Art Rooney Sportsmanship award, the NFL announced on Tuesday.

The award, which honors former Steelers founding owner Art Rooney Sr., recognizes the player who "best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition," according to the league.

All 32 NFL clubs have one player nominated for the award, which was created originally in 2014. Safety Landon Collins was Washington's nominee last year; New England Patriots special teams ace Matthew Slater was the 2021 winner.
