New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore was named the 2017 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year at the NFL Honors on Saturday moments after teammate Alvin Kamara earned the offensive award.
According to NFL.com's David Ely, Lattimore garnered 45 out of 50 first-place votes. Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White nabbed four, while San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster received one.
The Saints selected Lattimore 11th overall out of Ohio State, and he was instantly penciled in as the No. 1 corner for a team coming off a league-worst 273.8 passing yards per game in 2016.
