Teddy Bridgewater Doesn’t Win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, Which is Fine

The NFL tweeted out that Odell Beckham, Jr. won the Associated Press’ Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, which makes sense. It was the most dominant rookie receiver season since Randy Moss. In 12 games, Odell Beckham averaged 108.8 yards a game, the most of any receiver (with any amount of experience), in the NFL—something only 10 receivers have done in history (with at least ten games), with only one receiver to do it twice (not Jerry Rice or Randy Moss, but Charley Hennigan).

This doesn’t take away from Teddy Bridgewater’s amazing year, of course. He finished with a solid adjusted yards per attempt, a league-average yards per attempt and a five-game streak better than almost any quarterback in the NFL.

And he still has the Pepsi Rookie of the Year Award to hang his hat on!
