Jeff Hanisch / USA TODAY Sports
The third and fourth picks of the 2016 NFL draft aren't wasting much time making an impact.
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and San Diego Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa were named Offensive Rookie of the Month and Defensive Rookie of the Month, respectively, for October.
The former Ohio State Buckeyes are the first college teammates to win the award in the same month since Warrick Dunn and Peter Boulware (Florida State) in September 1997.
Elliott, who leads the NFL in rushing, tallied 525 yards on the ground with three touchdowns over his last four games. He added another 125 yards on 10 catches.
Bosa, who didn't make his NFL debut until Oct. 9, registered four sacks in his first four games.
