Both the Texans and Packers were entering crucial years, with number two pick C.J. Stroud as the supposed savior in Houston and Jordan Love taking over for a legend Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.
In the Wildcard Round, they blew out the Browns and Cowboys, shredding what had been two of the best defenses across the NFL, with the two young quarterbacks being the stars of the show in their playoff debuts!
The regular season has come to a close and after 17 games, it’s time to talk about what players were able to show in their first years as pros. Therefore, I put together my annual NFL All-Rookie team, consisting of a starting lineup on offense and defense, along with six “key backups”.
Just like the All-Pro teams this year, I decided to add a 12th spot to offense and defense, along with the classic four special-teamers. However, I took a little more freedom with that, since only two rookie fullbacks saw extended run (Cowboys’ Hunter Luepke and Saints’ Adam Prentice) and I thought there were more deserving players along the defensive front than an additional slot defender, since I already went with nickel personnel.
Let’s get into it:
Every week we see a bunch of interesting play-designs and wrinkles coaches put in the gameplan. These are my five/six favorites from week five!
Every NFL fan is aware of the Dolphins offense putting up historic numbers, how dominant the 49ers have looked on both sides of the ball and the main storylines.
I wanted to shine a light on the top performers across the league, who aren’t talked about enough, but have stood out in a major way through the first three weeks.
We’re closing week three of these divisional draft and roster breakdowns, by looking at the AFC South – which collectively selected three of the top four quarterbacks in the draft, while the fourth team could turn themselves into one of the favorites for the conference!
Switching back over to the AFC side of things once again to finish up week three of our divisional draft breakdown series, we’re taking a deep dive into the Texans, Colts, Jaguars & Titans!
