Thought I'd get an official word on this. Etienne wasn't on the Jags active roster at any point last year due to injury (at least I don't think he was). Is he eligible to be a "rookie" again? It seems like the answer should be 'no', but in the NBA a player who missed his whole first season with an injury was eligible for - and won! - Rookie of the Year the next year. The rationale there was that it was his first season actually playing. So there's at least some precedence somewhere in sports for a rookie year do-over.
What say you, oh wise ones? |

This situation has come up before

|
| To my recollection, the players were not eligible as rookies their first year actually playing. |
