Only 29 tackles and 7 sacks?

It was an underwhelming rookie class. No one that I can think of put up really good stats.

Just curious, how many other pressures and hurries?

7 sacks is a good number for a rookie

vs

Byron Young

42 tackles and 8 sacks

Will did it in 2 fewer games, so he likely finishes with at least the same amount of sacks.

My issue is Will Anderson won the award and Young finished 8th I'm not going to say Byron definitely should have won over will, but it should have been closer than votes-wise (Either Byron higher or Will lower)

These votes are popularity contests. Texans were the belle of the ball at the end of the season.

Great player! Thankfully, when he played against LSU the DC game planned him away from his strengths.

Normally I would just tell you to call your governor and senators, but I hear they're very busy right now.

Led all rookies in QB Hits, pressures, and pressure rate. PFF had his run defense graded as the 2nd best lineman in football. He was elite. No question about it.
