Once Brock Bowers became the only rookie to be named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-NFL team, you figured it was a given he would be named to the All-Rookie team.
The question was if he would be the only one. And, as it turns out, he was not. Joining Bowers on the All-Rookie team was second round guard Jackson Powers-Johnson.
Here is the entire team:
