NFL Rookie of the Year Award
Since 1967 The Associated Press has given two annual Rookie of the Year Awards to NFL American football players: one for an offensive player and one for a defensive player.
Trivia
- The Detroit Lions have won more Rookie of the Year awards than any other team, with 6 total (4 offense & 2 defense).
- Running backs have won an astounding 29 out of 38 offensive ROTY awards, or 76%.
- Ben Roethlisberger, 2004 Offensive ROTY, was only the second quarterback to win the award, and the first since Dennis Shaw in 1970, a 34 year span.
- The Eagles, Jaguars, Seahawks, & Texans are the only franchises to never have a player win either award.
- 1967 marked the only year that one team won both awards, as the Lions took home the Offensive (Mel Farr) and Defensive (Lem Barney) trophies.
- Buddy Curry & Al Richardson are the only co-winners; both Atlanta Falcons linebackers won the 1980 Defensive ROTY award.
