Bengals RB Giovani Bernard nominated for Pepsi Next Rookie of the Year

Posted Jan 3, 2014
Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard is one of five players nominated for the Pepsi Next Rookie of the Year award. The Pepsi Next rookie of the year is a fan vote and not the NFL's award that they hand out of offense and defense -- this one is similar to the Pepsi Next rookie of the week, except for this is the end-of-the-year honors.
