Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was named Rookie of the Year by.Pro Football Weekly and the Pro Football Writers Association on Monday.

Griffin III, who led the Redskins to a 10-6 record and their first division title since 1999, also threw for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdown passes while throwing just five interceptions. His 102.4 quarterback rating and 815 rushing yards are rookie records for quarterbacks.

Voters also selected Griffin III as the only rookie quarterback to be selected to the Pro Bowl this season, although he will miss the game due to recent surgery on his ACL and LCL.

The Associated Press rookie of the year award will be announced Feb. 2 at the NFL Honors Awards Show, along with MVP honors, coach of the year and comeback player of the year among others.
