Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year

The Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year award was created in 2002, sponsored by Pepsi. This is an award voted online by the fans, and it is completely separate from the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year awards voted on by the Associated Press. Every week during the season, 5 finalists are chosen for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award, and a winner is determined by fan voting online at NFL.com. At the end of the season, total fan voting from the year is tabulated to determine the 5 finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year award. The finalists are announced at the end of the season and fans go online to vote during the playoffs. The award is presented to the winner during a press conference in the host city of the Super Bowl as part of the week's festivities. From 2002-2008, it was sponsored by Diet Pepsi.
