Best Rookies so far:
1. CJ Stroud - 4th most yards by a rookie QB ever into the 3rd week and he's keeping it up in the 3rd with another nice performance. Cactus called it.
2. Jalen Carter- technically the highest rated rookie in PFF with a 91 pretty much only doing something stupid or catastrophic injury would make me not regret that decision.
3. Jack Campbell ... for a guy labeled old school version of a big linebacker all he seems to do is make tackles and be in the right spots.
4. Bijan Robinson- 172 combined yards last week and looks like a screen pass nightmare for other teams
5. Puka Nacua- looks like the steal of the draft as a 5th rounder as we saw up close
Biggest nothing burgers:
1. Lukas Van Ness- glad we didn't get him at 20 and GB moved on him early
2. Quentin Johnson- JSN was a steal. Johnson likely still has some ability to make a dent down the road.
3. Bryan Bresee- Cactus didn't like this guy as much as I did and he has 3 tackles... which being a DT seems hard to do.
Things are becoming a little more clear as far as standouts & who's in the running for ROTY.
Offense
Stroud
Puka Nacua
Addison
LaPorta
Stroud will probably win.
Defense
Spoon
Carter
Anderson
Tuipulotu
I think Spoon has to be the clear favorite at this point.
