Former Penn State wide receiver [autotag]Jahan Dotson[/autotag] may not have celebrated a win with his teammates in the NFL last weekend, but he certainly left his mark on the football field. And on Thursday, he was honored for his performance on the field as the Pepsi Rookie of the Week.
Dotson was the leading receiver for the Washington Commanders with 105 yards and a touchdown in Washington’s 20-12 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. Dotson led all players in the game with his receiving yardage and he seems to be putting together a solid finish to his rookie season after having an injury setback in the middle of the year.
This is the second time Dotson has been named the Pepsi Rookie of the Week. Dotson took home the weekly rookie award after Week 1 as well.
Dotson has 23 receptions for 338 yards and six touchdowns this season.
