Bobby Wagner wins Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award at NFL Honors

The Seattle Seahawks didn’t have a lot of involvement at Thursday’s NFL Honors, but they didn’t come away empty-handed.

Legendary linebacker Bobby Wagner, won the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, as voted on by fellow NFL players. The award is given 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.”

“It means a lot,” Wagner said (via Seahawks.com). “Anytime you get voted for anything by your fellow players, I think that speaks volumes. It’s another cool thing to know that your peers view you a certain way.
