The Green Bay Packers announced Friday that quarterback Jordan Love has been nominated by the team for the 2025 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. The nomination recognizes on-field sportsmanship, fair play and integrity and marks Love’s second straight year as the team’s nominee.
The league selects one nominee from each club and a panel of former players will choose eight finalists, four from each conference, for the award ballot. The eventual winner is determined by a vote of NFL players and will be revealed during the NFL Honors ceremony before the Super Bowl.

Love’s nomination arrives amid a season in which he has been a steady presence for the Packers while also navigating injuries and high-stakes divisional matchups. Team officials highlighted his conduct and leadership as reasons for the selection when they submitted his name for consideration.
Across the league, the Rooney Award field includes notable veterans and leaders, illustrating the NFL’s emphasis on sportsmanship as part of players’ broader contributions. The final group of eight will be announced next month, after which players will cast ballots as part of Pro Bowl voting.
For Love, the nod adds an off-field accolade to a campaign defined by on-field growth and resilience. He has guided the team through a competitive stretch that features critical divisional games and a crowded wild-card picture, and the nomination underscores his standing within the organization and among peers.

Just recently, Love was included in a list of NFL players nominated for the Sportsmanship Award. This is detailed more in an article by Wes Hodkiewicz for the team’s official website.
For the second consecutive year, Packers quarterback Jordan Love is the team’s nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.
The award, created in 2014 and named after the late founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Rooney Sr., recognizes players who best demonstrate the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition.
Charitable recognition is tied to the award, as the recipient receives a donation from the NFL Foundation to a charity of his choice. That component further elevates the honor beyond individual recognition to include a philanthropic impact selected by the winner.

Green Bay will await the league’s announcement of the eight finalists while the season continues to unfold. Love’s nomination reflects both his conduct and the team’s view of him as a player who represents professional standards on and off the field.
If selected as the winner, Love would join a list of players honored for sportsmanship and would direct a meaningful donation to his chosen charity. The award would cap a noteworthy season for the Packers’ starter and offer recognition from across the NFL community.
