When it comes time for the NFL to announce the winner of the official Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, Kayvon Thibodeaux will not hear his name called.
There is something called the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year Award, a compilation of fan voting. There are six nominees and Thibodeaux is not one of them. Three of the nominees are defensive players: cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and Tariq Woolen , and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson . The three of them are offensive players: wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave , and running back Kenneth Walker .
It was mentioned to Thibodeaux that none of the six nominated rookies are still playing. Thibodeaux’s team is the only one still alive and kicking. He perked up at that. “You got to be disciplined,’’ Thibodeaux said. “Everybody wants to be Superman and everybody wants to do everything, but you can’t do that with a guy who can make you pay. You got to stay true to your assignment.’’
Thibodeaux had a season-high nine solo tackles, three tackles for loss, one quarterback hit and the most impactful play of the night, drilling Taylor Heinicke in the back for the defensive superfecta: a sack, forced fumble, fumble recovery and touchdown.
