Quote:Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase was named 2021 Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA). Chase is the first Cincinnati player to be selected Offensive Rookie of the Year by the PFWA.

Kicker Evan McPherson was also honored by the PFWA earning an All-Rookie special teams selection.

Dunno if the PFWA award is the same as the NFL award. Don't think so? Anyway good deal, clearly deserved.

[Earendil]

I thought they were the same, but like a man in orthopedic footwear, I stand corrected.

That's not the same award, the NFL honors is in February

Sweet, no matter what it is.

Even though it's not the "official" award, looking back through the archives, the only year since 2000 where the AP award did not go to the same person as the PFWA award was 2016 when the AP award went to Dak Prescott and the PFWA award went to Ezekiel Elliot.

So I think this bodes well for Ja'Marr's chances.

EDIT: In 2017, the PFWA awarded it to two players, Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara.

Make sure you go vote for the REAL rookie of the year award. The Pepsi rookie of the year:

Well deserved even if not the official award.

Just did, Chase is at 47% and Parsons at 42% right now. Close as it should be, both had great rookie seasons.

He can tuck it behind the Lombardi. Yup, I went there!

It's a shame they are going to have to fire Zac after he wins the Super Bowl.

His replacement will get them back there

I thought both of our previous Super Bowl teams had Rookies of the Year, but I was wrong. In fact neither Cris Collinsworth nor Icky Woods was rookie of the year.

Ickey was the Co-Winner of the PFWA award. The only Bengals to win the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year are Eddie Brown (1985) and Carl Pickens (1992). No Bengals player has ever won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Odell was pretty damn good his rookie year on D. He is about the only player on D I can think of that was close.
