THE APEX TIMES
The New York Giants linebacker was selected by the fan vote after a standout defensive performance against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Arvell Reese has been named the fan-voted Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week, earning the award following the New York Giants’ Week 9 victory in Philadelphia.
In that game, Reese recorded 12 tackles and three sacks against the Eagles, including a forced fumble that the Giants’ release described as one of the biggest hits of the season.
This is Reese’s second Pepsi Rookie of the Week Award. The Giants previously noted he earned the honor after a Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals, making him one of the few multi-time winners this season.
The Giants also emphasized that Reese’s production came alongside additional weekly recognition. The team said he earned his first NFC Defensive Player of the Week award on Wednesday, and that the league’s official statistics backdrop makes his sack totals especially rare for a rookie.
New York is positioning Reese’s run of awards alongside its broader season momentum in the NFC East, where the Giants are described as standing atop the division.
