The Facts:
One day after finishing second in the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, Johnson lashed out against the selection process, calling "the whole thing bogus."
Reported by the Nashville Tennessean
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson said his football peers and fans should select the winner of the annual award, not a panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. He added that since he received more votes to the Pro Bowl than any rookie and was the lone first-year player elected to the Pro Bowl, he should have won the award over Falcons QB Matt Ryan, who collected 44 votes (to Johnson's three). Johnson rushed for 1,228 yards and nine touchdowns. "I did all I could do to win it," he said. "I feel like I did the best."
