The NFL named Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and San Diego Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa as Rookie of the Year Finalists on Tuesday morning.
That afternoon, the Professional Football Writers Association dubbed Elliott as the Offensive Rookie of the Year and Bosa as the Defensive Player Rookie of the Year.
Elliott, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 draft who led the league in rushing, took home official "Rookie of the Year" Honors.
Most notably, Bosa, the No. 3 overall pick, only played in 12 games and amassed 41 tackles and 10.5 quarterback sacks while asserting himself as the Chargers' best defender.
Here is the team in full, which includes former Ohio State receiver Mike Thomas and offensive lineman Taylor Decker:
