Saints hope -- and think -- they have the offensive and defensive rookies of the year

The New Orleans Saints have a chance next month to accomplish something that only one team has ever done.

If running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore sweep the Associated Press rookie of the year awards, they would join the 1967 Detroit duo of running back Mel Farr and cornerback Lem Barney as the only teammates to earn the honor.

The NFL won't announce the winners until the NFL Honors ceremony next month. Lattimore is the clear frontrunner on defense, but Kamara has stiff competition from Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, the league's rushing champion in 2017.
