Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week is an award given to the best performing rookie players in the National Football League (NFL). It was first awarded in 2002 and is sponsored by Pepsi. Winners are chosen among five finalists every week during the season by an online vote on the NFL's official website. Total votes by the end of the season are used to determine the five finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year award. The award is sometimes named after other varieties of Pepsi, such as Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Zero.
