For his remarkable first three weeks in the NFL, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was named the league's Offensive Rookie of the Month.

The second pick in this year's draft has led the Eagles to a 3-0 record and first place in the NFC East with wins over the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, and Pittsburgh Steelers. He's thrown for 769 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions, and owns a 103.8 passer rating.

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones earned the Defensive Rookie of the Month award. The second-round pick returned an interception 90 yards for a touchdown in the Falcons' 45-32 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 3, and has 25 tackles through his first three games.
