Jared Verse was the big winner for the Los Angeles Rams at the NFL Honors show on Thursday night, taking home Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was the only player or coach to win an award this year, a well-deserved honor for the standout rookie from Florida State.
However, he wasn’t the only member of the Rams to receive votes for various awards. Sean McVay was in the hunt for Coach of the Year, Braden Fiske made a run at Defensive Rookie of the Year and Kyren Williams even got more votes for Offensive Player of the Year than Patrick Mahomes.
Here are the final voting results for each member of the Rams.

Sean McVay (9th)

1 fourth-place vote
4 fifth-place votes
McVay finished ninth in Coach of the Year voting, an award that was won by former Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell, now with the Vikings. McVay did a phenomenal job coaching this year with such a young and injury-ravaged team, but it wasn’t enough to win him the award for the second time.
