Atlantic City Blackjacks wide receiver Antwane Grant was named Co-Rookie of the Year on Tuesday alongside Columbus Destroyers wideout and return man Fabian Guerra. It marked the first time in Arena Football League history that the award has been shared.
The team leader in receiving yards, Grant made a strong case for the award late in the season, posting five 100-yard receiving games in his last six outings. Over that span, he caught 45 passes and hauled in 14 of his 15 total touchdowns.    Meanwhile, Guerra led the league in all-purpose yards while scoring 20 touchdowns (15 receiving, two rushing, and three kick returns).
