Hill is happy to be nominated but doesn’t think he should win.
Even though Hill says OBJ should win, the Bengals running back has a case of his own. He ran for 1,124 yards this season, eighth-best in the league and 359 yards more than any other rookie. He also finished with nine scores.
Beckham finished with 91 receptions (second-highest ever for a rookie), 1,305 yards (169 away from most ever by a rookie) and 12 touchdowns (tied for third-most ever for a rookie) — and he did it despite missing the first four games of the season.
Evans and Watkins had great rookie years, but both players had fewer receptions and yards than Beckham (Evans tied for touchdowns).
Bridgewater finished with the third-highest completion percentage for a rookie in NFL history (64.4). He also finished with the most yards per game among rookie quarterbacks this season.
