Tennessee Titans long snapper Morgan Cox is the team’s nominee for the 2023 Art Rooney Sportsmanship award, the league announced on Wednesday.
The award is given to players who “demonstrate the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.”
A panel from the NFL Legends Community will decide on eight finalists for the honor, and players will decide which of the eight wins when Pro Bowl ballots go out.
Cox is one of 32 nominees around the NFL, with each team having one. Here’s a look at the entire list of nominees the Titans long snapper is up against:

No Titans player has ever won the award since its inception in 2014. Running back Derrick Henry was the team’s nominee in each of the past two seasons.
The winner will be revealed at the NFL Honors show in February and will receive a $25,000 donation from the league to the charity of their choice.
