The rookie of the year honors on the PFWA team went to Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (offensive) and Washington defensive end Chase Young (defensive). Herbert was also tabbed the overall top rookie.

None of Jacksonville’s 12 draft picks in 2020 made the squad.

Robinson had 10 total touchdowns (seven on the ground, three receiving) for Jacksonville in 2020, despite missing the final two games with an ankle injury.

The undrafted rookie from Illinois State was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month in September after a stellar start to the season. Robinson put his name in the conversation as the top undrafted rookie running back ever.

He finished with 1,070 rushing yards and 1,414 yards from scrimmage for the 1-15 Jaguars. Robinson is also in the running for the Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year.
