Once Brock Bowers became the only rookie to be named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-NFL team, you figured it was a given he would be named to the All-Rookie team.
The question was if he would be the only one. And, as it turns out, he was not. Joining Bowers on the All-Rookie team was second round guard Jackson Powers-Johnson.
Here is the entire team:

Not surprisingly, Brock Bowers lost out to Commanders QB Jayden Daniels for Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year. Rams LB Jared Verse took home Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
