The 2021 NFL Rookie of the Year candidates is settled. Here is the list of nominated players from Ja'Marr Chase to Mac Jones. Do you know who is going to win?
With the Bengals' first playoff win in 31 years coming during his rookie season, we have no doubt about the effect Ja'Marr Chase is having in the NFL.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons led all rookies with 13 sacks in 2021, the third-most by a rookie since the individual sack became an official statistic in 1982, and tied for the NFL lead with 21 tackles for loss. Parsons has some chance to win.
Kyle Pitts
Kyle Pitts was nominated for an NFL rookie of the year award decided by fans. Tight end Kyle Pitts had an excellent start to his NFL career, the best first season ever by a Falcons pass catcher.
Mac Jones
Jones had quite the rookie season for the Patriots, first beating out Cam Newton in training camp and the preseason to land the job as New England’s starting quarterback.
