Every week during the NFL season, five finalists are chosen for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award, and a winner is determined by fan voting online at NFL.com. At the end of the season, total fan voting from the year is tabulated to determine the five finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year award, which is also determined by online fan voting. From 2002-2008, it was known as the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award.
