Which PFWA All-Rookie Broncos player earned honors in 2020?

• A. Drew Lock
• B. Jerry Jeudy
• C. KJ Hamler
• D. Lloyd Cushenberry

Answer: (D)

The main idea is understanding how the PFWA All-Rookie honor works: it goes to a rookie who delivered a standout season, recognized by the Pro Football Writers of America. Lloyd Cushenberry earned this distinction in 2020 because he stepped in as the Broncos’ center as a rookie and provided dependable, steady play at the crucial interior spot. He started the majority of the season and helped anchor the offensive line, showing consistency and growth from college to the NFL. That level of reliability and impact stood out to PFWA voters among Broncos rookies that year, earning him the All-Rookie recognition. Drew Lock wasn’t a rookie in 2020, so he wouldn’t be in play for this honor; Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler had solid rookie campaigns as receivers, but Cushenberry's sustained performance at center earned the PFWA All-Rookie honor.
