Folorunso Fatukasi is the New York Jets‘ nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award this season.
Fatukasi, 25, is one of the Jets’ hometown boys. Born in Far Rockaway, NY, the Jets snagged the Connecticut product in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft. After a rookie season that saw him dress in just a single game, his breakout happened under Gregg Williams.
The man who usually flies under the radar is currently ranked 10th by PFF among all NFL interior defensive tackles.
