Voters on NFL.com and on Sprint wireless phones voted fullback/linebacker Spencer Larsen of the Denver Broncos the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the week.
Larsen was the first Broncos player in team history to start on offense and defense and became only the fourth player in the NFL to do so since 1990. He had seven tackles as Denver beat the Atlanta Falcons 24-20 on Sunday.
Larsen was selected from among five finalists through fan votes on NFL.com/rookies and via Sprint wireless service.
After the regular season, five players will be nominated for Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Fans can vote for the winner on NFL.com/rookies and via Sprint wireless service throughout the month of January. The winner will be announced at a press conference at Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa Bay.
