At first, it was rumored that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater would be named the Pepsi Rookie of the Year last night, but it was finally made official when he was handed the trophy.

Teddy Bridgewater beat out some really tough competition for the award.  Here is a list of the other players who were up for the honor to be voted for on the NFL.com website:

  • Odell Beckham, Jr – WR – New York Giants
  • Sammy Watkins – WR – Buffalo Bills
  • Mike Evans – WR – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • Jeremy Hill – RB – Cincinnati Bengals

The official Minnesota Vikings twitter account broke the news of Bridgewater’s win.  Here is the tweet they sent out:

The photo of Bridgewater being presented his trophy has been making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter.  The trophy is a bit bigger than I expected and has a silver football on the top of it.  While it is unlikely that Bridgewater will win the AP Rookie of the Year award to be presented at today’s NFL Honors ceremony, Bridgewater should enjoy that he was voted to win this award by football fans all around the world.

We at The Viking Age would like to congratulate Teddy Bridgewater and the Minnesota Vikings on the Pepsi Rookie of the Year win.  Hopefully, he can add many more trophies (and hopefully rings) to his collection during his career with the Minnesota Vikings.
