Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and Washington defensive end Chase Young were the NFL's top rookies, winning offensive and defensive rookie of the year awards at Saturday's NFL Honors awards show.
Herbert was the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft and threw for 4,336 yards and 31 touchdowns -- a single-season rookie record -- in 15 games.
"Thank you to the Chargers organization, the Spanos Family, Tom Telesco and (former) coach Anthony Lynn for taking a chance on a kid from Eugene, Oregon," Herbert said in a recorded video message.
