Instead, the award will go to one of Seattle Seahawks running back Ken Walker III, New York Jets receiver Garrett Wilson and New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\"\/>\n<p>Allgaier, who went from a healthy scratch in Week 1 to become the franchise&#8217;s all-time leader in rushing yards in a single season by a rookie, was the top running back with the third-best rushing attack in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The former BYU Cougar finished the year with 1,035 yards on 210 carries and three touchdowns, adding 16 receptions for 139 yards and a score in the air. He became the fourth rookie in Falcons history to surpass his 1,000 scrimmage his yardage. This he accomplished in just 15 games, ultimately finishing with 1,174 total offensive yards.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that each of the three finalists had a great year.<\/p>\n<p>Walker III was one of the best rookie rushers in the league, with 1,050 more yards on the ground than Algaier, but 18 more carries. However, he had nine touchdowns. This is more than double that of Algaia. <em>total<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Olave and Wilson both topped the 1,000-receiving-yard mark, with the former passing for 1,042 yards and four touchdowns on 72 passes, and the latter for 1,103 yards and four points on 83 receptions. Wilson is considered to be the overwhelming favorite for the award.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>But what shouldn&#8217;t be lost in the mix is \u200b\u200bAllgaier&#8217;s prodigiousness as he became a true three-down back who excelled in pass protection, wore down defense throughout the game, rarely made negative plays and didn&#8217;t fumble a single time. It&#8217;s a rise.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, knocking out any of the three contenders is tough&#8230;but Allgeier&#8217;s rookie season isn&#8217;t all that impressive now that the awards have been revoked.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>The Falcons appear to have made it to the fifth round, but Algaier continues to prove that belief right.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<hr class=\"mm-horizontal-rule mm-horizontal-rule--hr1\"\/>\n<p><strong><em>You can follow Daniel Flick on Twitter <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DFlickDraft\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">@DFlickDraft<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Match tickets for HOTlanta Falcons are available at SI Tickets&#8230; HERE!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want the latest breaking news and insider information about the Falcons? <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>click here.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/dallasbasketball.com\/\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\"><\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Follow Falcon Report <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FalconReportSI\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want more Atlanta Falcons news?
