Dak/Zeke competition for Rookie of the Year

Don't they split it between offensive and defensive?

Yes. Bosa is not competing with Dak/Zeke for the award.

Sort of. It's weird, there are 3 different Rookie of the Year awards recognized by the NFL Honors show or whatever it's called: Rookie of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year. Rookie of the Year is a fan vote (I think) while the last 2 are chosen by the Associated Press based on a vote by sports writers.

In theory you could have overlap between ROTY and OROTY or DROTY but it doesn't seem like it works out that way based on a quick google.

Are you sure? I'm not saying you're mistaken, but I don't see just ROTY listed on the list of coming awards.

It was that way in 2016, I don't know what the deal with it is this year.

Edit to add: Wikipedia seems to think it will be this year, too. Don't know if the NFL site left it off or if they removed it and Wikipedia missed it.
