The PFWA, which has awarded an all-rookie team every year since 1974, named San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa as its defensive rookie of the year and NFL rookie of the year. Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was tabbed the offensive rookie of the year.
Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson did not make the cut at his position or as a punt returner after being named a second-team All-Pro on special teams. Tennessee’s A.J. Brown and Washington’s Terry McLaurin were picked as the top rookie wide receivers, and New Orleans’ Deonte Harris was named the top rookie punt returner.
