Offensive Player of the Year– Todd Gurley experienced a career rebirth in 2017-2018, accounting for the most scrimmage yards in the league. He was the spark plug for this Rams revitalized top tier offense.

Offensive Rookie of the Year– Alvin Kamara was simply a beast all season for the Saints. Whatever needed to be done, he came up explosive in every offensive facet. The rookie had 728 rushing yards and 826 receiving yards on 81 catches. Adding on a kick return for a TD, he had 14 total. That’s crazy!
Defensive Rookie of the Year– Marshon Lattimore makes another teammate pair. He tacked on 5 interceptions as part of a good defensive unit for the Saints.
Coach of the Year– Sean McVay actually ran away with this one, surprisingly, yet he did lead his team to a 11-5 record and an NFC West Title.
Other cool awards include-Pat Shurmur as Assistant Coach of the Year and Keenan Allen rightfully earning Comeback Player of the Year.
