Linebacker Lavonte David is going to go down as one of the best Tampa Bay Buccaneers players to ever don the uniform.

And he’s a professional. To the letter.

Something the league has noticed, and David is up for the 2022 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award because of it.

“These Rooney Sportsmanship Award nominees exemplify the fiercest competition combined with the excellence of sportsmanship,” said Troy Vincent, EVP of Football Operations of the NFL via a press release. “It reflects the very values ​​of respect, resilience, and fairness that inspire both teammates and opponents to be the best in the world.”
