Every Wednesday of the NFL, the Rookie Diary pays tribute to the most important rookies. The best offensive rookie, his defensive alter ego, the action, the revelation of the week, the flop … And finally, Power Rooking. Everything, you will know everything about Rookies!
Offensive rookie of the week
Bailey Zappe – QB – New England Patriots (137e choix)
24/34, 309 yards, 2 touchdowns
Magnificent score played by the university yard and touchdown record holder. Bailey Zappe sided against the Browns. Seriousness, application, intelligence, he showed what his talent can do about him. From there to questioning the hierarchy of pitchers in New England? Maybe not yet, but Mac Jones will have more pressure.
Honorable Mention: Kenneth Walker – RB – Seattle Seahawks (41st choice)
21 courses, 97 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 receptions, 13 yards
With Rashaad Penny’s injury, it was expected. And he didn’t disappoint. The former Michigan State player turned heads at the Cardinals with his support and liveliness.
Defensive rookie of the week
Kayvon Thibodeaux – Edge – New York Giants (5th choice)
3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble
If everything still doesn’t live up to his immense talent, Thibodeaux is slowly gaining momentum. And above all it is decisive. For his first career layoff, the former Oregon leader couldn’t have dreamed of better. A “strip sack” that causes Lamar Jackson to fumble and at the same time offers a turnover synonymous with victory for his team.
Special Mention: Gardner Sauce – CB – New York Jets (4th choice)
Having nearly returned a choice six entry (canceled for foul), Sauce Gardner was intractable throughout the match including 2 defended passes and an impression of omnipresence in the Jets’ defensive pitch. Never defaulted, he perfectly limited the attack of Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers.
Revelation of the week
Brian Robinson – RB – Washington Commanders (98e choice)
17 courses, 60 yards, 1 touchdown
Attacked by a firearm just six weeks ago, Brian Robinson has already returned to the field despite two bullets received in the legs. An extraordinary undertaking to say goodbye. The Commanders runner who had already carried some balloons last week was lined up as a starter for the first time in his young career. A first success. With his first touchdown, Robinson helped his team snatch victory over the Bears. He hired Antonio Gibson into the driver hierarchy. A good omen for the rest of his season.
action of the week
Breece Hall – RB – New York Jets (36e choix)
Once again monstrous with over 100 yards, the Jets runner martyred the Packers defense on their home turf. As a highlight of his beautiful evening, Hall offered himself a 34-yard touchdown where he punched through the defensive curtain before holding back De’Vondre Campbell’s return.
And it’s Breece Hall’s turn to have some fun with the Green Bay defense #NYJvsGB #Take flight
