Last season was a challenging one for Jordan Fuller. He was limited to just three games due to a hamstring injury, which ended his season in Week 4.
He’s returned as a full-time starter and captain this year, and now he’s up for one of the most prestigious awards in the NFL. The Rams have nominated Fuller for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, which is given to the player who best displays “on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.”
He’s one of 32 nominees across the league, one from each team. There are also two former Rams nominated by their teams: Robert Woods with the Texans and Bobby Wagner with the Seahawks.
Below is a list of all 32 nominees for this year’s award.

Fuller has been a leader for the Rams since joining them as a sixth-round pick in 2020, immediately becoming a starter as a rookie and then a captain in 2021.
He also wore the green dot as the defensive signal caller in just his second season, a rarity for a player that early in his career – especially at the safety position.
