Running back Todd Gurley has been selected as the Rams nominee for the Art Rooney Award.
According to NFL.com, the award is presented each year to a player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition, with the winner receiving a $25,000 donation from the NFL Foundation to a charity of his choice.
The list will be narrowed to four players per conference before current players vote for a winner. Players cannot vote for their teammate.
The Art Rooney Award winner is announced during the NFL Honors show in February.

MOST IMPROVED
Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton picked a most-improved player for each NFL team on Monday. For the Rams, Moton picked linebacker Cory Littleton, who stepped into a starting role in L.A.'s defense in 2018 as the mic'd linebacker.
Here's what Moton had to say about Littleton:
As a full-time starter, Littleton has crushed totals from his first two years combined, notching 59 solo tackles, three sacks, nine pass breakups and an interception, but that's not all.
The Washington product provides a significant lift to the special teams unit, as he's blocked four punts in two years. Littleton's efforts beyond the defense haven't gone unnoticed, per ESPN.com's Lindsey Thiry: "Cory has elite get-off," head coach Sean McVay said of Littleton's punt-blocking prowess. "He's just got a great feel for it. Certain players have a knack for certain things, and I think we've seen Cory consistently show up."
Apparently, the Rams just need to put Littleton on the field for instant impact. He's one of the most improved players this year.
