Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed one of the most impressive NFL debut seasons by winning The Associated Press' Offensive Rookie of the Year award at the NFL Honors ceremony Thursday night in New Orleans.
In leading Washington to its best season in more than three decades, Daniels transformed a 4-13 team into a 12-5 one, guiding the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game.
He is the first Washington player to win Offensive Rookie of the Year since quarterback Robert Griffin III in 2012.
After being the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft, Daniels became the first rookie in league history to throw for over 3,500 yards and rush for over 800 yards in a season. He helped the Commanders to score an average of 28.5 points per game, which are the most by a team with a rookie quarterback.
Daniels received 49 of 50 first-place votes with the other going to Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix finished third in the voting.
In other awards:
• Former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was named Assistant Coach of the Year. Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores and ex-Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn finished second and third in voting, respectively.
