With the NFL season halfway done, the team at A to Z Sports decided to vote on who should win each of the major NFL awards. Over the next week, we'll release one article per day, covering each award. This article will cover the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

A panel of four writers was selected for each award, and we attempted to exclude the primary beat reporters for the top-five favorites by betting odds in each category. That way, we'll minimize bias in the voting as much as possible.

For the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, our panel included Ryan Roberts, Kyle Crabbs, Rob Gregson, and Tyler Forness.

Tyler Warren, TE, Indianapolis Colts

“The battle for Offensive Rookie of the Year really comes down between Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren, and both answers are acceptable in this race.

"For me, the vote goes to Warren due to his importance to the entire offense. As a receiver, Warren has been stellar, hauling in 37 receptions for 492 yards and three touchdowns. As long as he stays healthy, Warren should eclipse 1,000 yards on the season.

He is also a key part of their run game as a blocker and occasionally performs some wildcat and creative work in the backfield. Warren is just such a vital weapon for this offense.” - Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports NFL Draft and Notre Dame analyst
