Sam Bradford Named AP's Offensive Rookie of the Year

Filed under: Rams, NFC West, NFL Awards

Sam Bradford, the top pick in the draft last year, rewarded the St. Louis Rams with his play in his first year and on Friday was named the 2010 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press.

The Rams went from 1-15- to 7-9 under Bradford, losing out on the playoffs to Seattle on a tiebreaker after the Seahawks also finished 7-9 in the NFC West.

"I think the more I'm out there, the more comfortable I become,'' Bradford told The Associated Press. "It's been like that all year. There's been some ups, there's been some downs, but I feel like for the most part I've learned from my mistakes each week. I think the game's stating to slow down a little bit, but I really still have a long way to go before I'm as comfortable as I want to be.''

A nationwide panel of 50 voters chimed in on the voting, and he got a total of 44 votes as he became the fourth quarterback since 2004 to win the award.
