Congrats to Todd! He finished 3rd in the league in rushing to go along with 10 touchdowns despite missing the first three games of the season, and the last game as well.

He beat out Tampa Bay's Jameis Winston and Oakland's Amari Cooper.

UPDATE: Here is a link to the official voting break down. Todd runs away with 27 of 50 votes.

Is there 3 ROY? Offense, defense and overall? Still, that's awesome and he deserved it.

No. There is just OROY and DROY. No overall rookie winner for both sides, but Jameis did win the fan voted Pepsi Rookie of the Year which does include offensive and defensive rookies.

He deserved it. No other rookie meant as much to their team.Ran behind one of the least effective offensive lines and despite the limpest passing attack in football

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley, who came off knee surgery in college to rush for 1,106 yards, has won The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Gurley missed the first two games of 2015, then went on a tear that included four straight 100-yard rushing performances: 146, 159, 128 and 133 yards. He finished the season third in league rushing and scored 10 touchdowns.

The first-round draft pick (10th overall) earned 27 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who regularly cover the NFL. He beat out top overall draft selection quarterback Jameis Winston of Tampa Bay, who received 17 votes.

Gurley is the fourth Ram to take the award, joining Hall of Fame RBs Eric Dickerson (1983) and Jerome Bettis (1993), and quarterback Sam Bradford (2010).

The award was presented Saturday night as part of NFL Honors.

Gurley named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year

The NFL Honors show is Saturday night, and lots of guys in tuxedos and fancy suits will be honored for what they did in helmets and shoulder pads through the fall.

One of the first big awards went to Rams running back Todd Gurley, who was named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Gurley played in 13 games last fall and rushed for 1,106 yards, the NFL’s third-highest total.

He had 566 yards in his first four games, the most by any rookie in the Super Bowl era, and that’s made more impressive by the fact his debut was delayed because his final college season ended with Gurley suffering a torn ACL in Nov. 2014.

Gurley is just 21. He went to the Pro Bowl to cap his rookie year and figures to be back, assuming the Pro Bowl still exists.

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was honored as the Pepsi Offensive Rookie of the Year, an award voted by fans. The No. 1 pick in last year’s draft, Winston went to the Pro Bowl as an alternate after throwing for 4,042 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Pretty cool shout out to the Rams fans from St.Louis.

2 years in a row with rookies of the year.

Donald, now Gurley.

Good times ahead.

I still feel very, very strongly that had the Gurley Man been fully healthy entering this season, he would have seriously challenged Eric's record-setting 1808 rookie rushing yardage.

No doubt.

The Bucs fans are out of control in the comment section on nfl.com They are so pissed Winston didn't win. Imagine if Gurley had Asustin Sefarian Jenkins, Muscle Hamster, Mike Evans, and Vincent Jackson to work with ?! Shit he probably would have rushed for 2000 yards. Winston is great but he had way more help around him than Gurley.

Don't worry! When the Gurley Express challenges the 2000 yards plateau next season, the Bucs fans and the rest of the world will be all completely humbled.
