AFL All-Rookie Team shocker: Dietz named to squad

In one of the most stirring upsets in all-AFL rookie team history, Brett Dietz was named to the team over Rohan Davey and the guy wearing the baseball hat at the end of Grand Rapids' bench.

OK, so Dietz was pretty much a shoo-in.

But it's still a pretty nice honor for a guy who started the season on Kansas City's practice squad.

Dietz was also named the league's rookie of the month for June, his second straight month winning the honor. He completed 86-of-134 passes for 1,132 yards, 24 touchdowns and only one interception in the month.

Seth Marler also was named kicker of the month for the second straight month.

Kudos!
