Fullback Kyle Juszczyk is the San Francisco 49ers' nominee for the seventh annual Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

The award, created after the 2014 season, is presented annually to an NFL player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition. The winner will be announced at the NFL Honors presentation before the Super Bowl, and he will receive a $25,000 donation from the NFL Foundation to a charity of his choice.

No 49ers player has ever won the award. Washington Football Team running back Adrian Peterson was last year's recipient.

San Francisco signed Juszczyk in 2017 after the fullback spent his first four NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He has appeared in every game this season and has scored two rushing touchdowns.
