The Latest on the NFL individual awards presented Saturday during the NFL Honors TV show (All times EST): ___ 9:20 p.m. Justin Herbert is the latest quarterback to win The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
The Los Angeles Chargers’ breakthrough star, chosen sixth overall in last April’s draft, is the second straight quarterback and the ninth since 2004, when Ben Roethlisberger became the first QB to take the award.
Herbert also is the second Charger to win it; running back Don Woods was the recipient in 1974. Not even a starter when the season began, Herbert stepped in during the Chargers’ second game when Tyrod Taylor was injured during a medical procedure.
