On Tuesday, the NFL named six finalists for the 2022 “Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year,” and, as expected, Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was one of the nominees. To be clear, this is not the award that is given out at the NFL Honors in the week leadup to the Super Bowl. This is a fan-voted award. The winner—and I’m not making this up—will receive a “specifically designed, Pepsi Zero Sugar-themed trophy.”
You may remember that both Hutchinson and James Houston have won the Pepsi Rookie of the Week award earlier this season.
