No Dallas Cowboys on PFWA all-rookie team
St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley, who led all NFL rookies in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, was selected as the 2015 Rookie of the Year and 2015 Offensive Rookie of the Year, chosen in voting conducted by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA).
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, who tied for the NFL lead in interceptions, was selected as the defensive rookie of the year.
