Bengals 2019 awards: MVP, Rookie of the Year and more

Time to roll out some awards for the 2019 Bengals.

Rookie of the Year: LB Germaine Pratt

Overall, the Bengals’ 2019 rookie class was rather underwhelming, but Pratt seemed to break out of the pack the most (no pun intended, though Pratt came from the NC State Wolfpack). Pratt started nine games at linebacker and finished fifth on the team with 72 tackles. Pratt still has plenty of developing to do but at least got his feet wet trying to fill the void at middle linebacker. 2020 will be an intriguing year for Pratt.
