Bleacher Report

The NFL Honors were Thursday night, and two rookies stood out in a big way. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was named Defensive Rookie of the Year, while Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase was named Offensive Rookie of the Year. Of course, Parsons and Chase weren't drafted to earn individual accolades. They were drafted to help get their respective teams to the Super Bowl—which Chase has done. Still, their accomplishments are impressive. Parsons tallied 13 sacks in his inaugural campaign, while Chase racked up 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns. Parsons and Chase are now NFL veterans, and we're going to see two new rookies on the NFL Honors stage a year from now.
