Recently, the linebacker Byron Young also added that honor to his resume. On this Sunday, in their game against the Arizona Cardinals, he got the Pepsi Rookie of the Week award for his display of talent in that matchup. During that game, Young displayed an incredible performance. He recorded 1 sack and 6 tackles, along with 2 quarterback hits and a forced fumble.
Both the players helped their team achieve recognition for being the only team that could get 2 players to win ROTW. They helped the team to not just win matches but also get recognized even more. There are many more players in the Rams’ team who put the team first, like Sean McVay.
