As the 2038 regular season comes to a close, we take a look back on the season's top performers.

Starting with the Offensive Player of the Year Award, there were 3 standout Wide Receivers and Hartford's offensive backfield. I think it's tough to look much further than San Antonio playmaker Toby Hartman's 1754 yards. Wait, there's also the 19 TD's.



Defensive Player of the Year Award honors feature some middle linebackers with a safety and defensive end thrown in for good measure. Despite the outstanding seasons by LB's Shepard, Hopper, and Cormier, SS Harold King's 147 tackles and 7 interceptions define elite play in the defensive backfield.



The Special Teams Player of the Year candidates are a bunch of kickers, so they should just be happy I'm listing their names here. Moving along...



Offensive Rookie of the Year discussions centered on Brandon Brandon Brandon Brandon's 1128 yards/17 TD's and Joe Wombacher's 1447 yards/7 TD's. Depending on what matters most to you, yards or TD's, will determine which way you are leaning. I've never seen yards win football games, yet points always seem to - Brandon repeating is my winner.



The Defensive Rookie of the Year Award race is a good one with Elliott, Blackwell, and Allen all as legitimate contenders. There's numbers to like on all of these guys and they are so diverse it exemplifies the reason sports discussions are so great. Although I would like to have seen Elliott find the end zone on at least one of those 8 picks or a few more forced fumbles from Blackwell's 10 sacks, I can't begin to argue the importance of these guys to their respective defenses. Allen, Finch, and Barlow are also deserving of the title but I'm leaning Elliott here based purely on his ability to turn the ball over.
