CHRIS JOHNSON CALLS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR VOTING “BOGUS”
Posted by Mike Florio on December 31, 2008, 5:27 p.m.
Titans running back Chris Johnson was the only rookie to make it to the Pro Bowl. But he lost out on the offensive rookie of the year award in a landslide to Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.
And Johnson doesn’t like it.
“[T]he whole thing is bogus,” Johnson said, according to Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper, ”because people are voting for it that are not on the same field as the people who are playing.
“I’m disappointed. I did all I could to win it. I feel I did the best. I feel I did all I could do to win it; it just didn’t come my way.”
The Associated Press names the offensive and defensive rookie of the year based on voting by 50 sportswriters. Ryan received 44 votes; Johnson drew only three
Note to Johnson, playing QB in the NFL is just a tad bit more dificult than taking a ball and running as fast as you can. There is a reason why so mnay young RB's have success in the NFL Vs Rookie QBs
