Nick. Bolton.

I’m just 14 games( had Covid this week) he has 102 tackles and leads in tackles for loss/ no gain with 18.





All this while only getting around 60% of the defensive snaps because Spags is a bitch when it comes to rookies.

If he had the snap count of the leaders in tackles that boy would be leading the league by a huge number.

He finally is starting to get into the conversation for DPOY.

If you take Bolton’s number of snaps to tackles last week before he had Covid to that of Bobby Wagner who leads the league in tackles at 158, he would have 189 tackles. Insane.

He is very impressive, no doubt. Most impressive, when comparing multiple positions, is too subjective. One could make an argument for Mac, Chase, Surtain, Pitts, and possibly a few others.

I believe Chase is the only one you mentioned worth saying they are as impressive as Bolton.

Chase has surprised the hell out of me after all that shite about not being able to catch.

I think he will be good for the Jets. They actually have a sneaky good rookie class.

As much as I like Nick Bolton, he’s not even a nailed on starter yet. As a Chiefs fan, Trey Smith has been on par with Bolton if not better.

That being said, answer is Chase unless Oklahoma counts as an SEC school. In that case, its Creed Humphry who will likely be an all-pro as a rookie.

Kyle Pitts and it's not close.

Made the Pro Bowl and about to
break the single season record for receiving yards by a TE

Uh, what

He doesn’t even lead the NFL this year in yards by a tight end. He needs about 500 yards the next 2 games to break the NFL record

He has just over 900 yards.

That is not even close to Kelce’s record. Lol

Pitts rookie season

Pitts is just 128 yards shy of breaking Mike Ditka’s record for single-season receiving yards by a tight end.

Fair enough. With our quantity of draft picks, they are all just running together at this point for me.

Spend some time watching Trey Smith with the Chiefs manhandle Defensive Linemen. It is quite impressive. The Chiefs got a steal.

Um because it's not?

Perhaps Mac Jones might be close but you do know Pitts is making the Pro Bowl and more than likely sets a rookie record TE yardage,correct?

Nick Bolton????

Nothing better than little Missouri grasping at straws.

Chase - leads rookies in yards and TDs

Waddle - about to set the rookie record for receptions

Pitts - about to set rookie yards record for TEs

Surtain - Top 5 targeted EPA (by far #1 rookie)

Ojulari - 8 sacks

Bolton - noted above


Also having solid years
Mac Jones
Najee Harris
Devonta Smith
Trey Smith
Christian Barmore
Eric Stokes
