Packers WR Jayden Reed and coach Matt LaFleur receive votes for AP NFL awards

Green Bay Packers receiver Jayden Reed and coach Matt LaFleur both received at least one vote for 2023 NFL season awards from the Associated Press.

Reed received one third-place vote and finished tied for sixth for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

LaFleur received two third-place votes and finished ninth for NFL Coach of the Year.

Reed, a second-round pick, produced 10 total touchdowns and set the Packers’ new rookie record for catches in a season. The NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year ended up being Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud.

LaFleur guided the NFL’s youngest team through a difficult early stretch, helped Jordan Love produce a standout first season at quarterback and got the Packers to the playoffs. The NFL’s Coach of the Year ended up being Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns.

The Packers received no votes in voting for NFL Assistant Coach of the Year, NFL MVP, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, NFL Comeback Player of the Year and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Former Packers edge rusher Julius Peppers was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot. He played in Green Bay from 2014 to 2016, tallying 25.0 sacks across 48 regular season games and making the Pro Bowl in 2015.

Lifelong Packers fan Tom Grossi, who hosts a podcast and helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity, was named NFL Fan of the Year.
