The AP NFL Rookie of the Year Award (ROTY) is an annual award given by the Associated Press (AP) to the top offensive and defensive first-year players in the National Football League (NFL).

Winners are selected by a nationwide panel of 50 members of the AP who regularly cover the league.

For the 2024 season, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Jared Verse were respectively named the offensive and defensive winners.

Ballots are cast at the end of the regular season, before the playoffs.
