From the prized first round picks to the hidden gems in undrafted free
agency, this years newest crop of rookies have left a historic mark on the
2022-2023 NFL Season. After heavy analysis on rookie debuts, I have
compiled my Offensive and Defensive All-Rookie Team of the 2022 - 2023 NFL
Season. This list only looks at regular-season performances. Playoff
performances are not considered.
For the longest time, Tom Brady was the New England Patriots. This man helped the Pats win SIX Super Bowls in his near 20-year career with the franchise, winning Super Bowl MVP in 4 of those 6 wins.
The NFL is back with a bang as teams returned to the turf with a full pre-season under their pads. Unlike last season with the ever-changing Covid-19 protocols, the build-up to the season opener had a sense of stability as teams were able to practice without as many disruptions. We’re seeing a continuation of pass-heavy offenses light up the scoreboards, hard-hitting defenses, and new NFL stars beginning to break out. This is why we love football.
Most people, upon viewing the NFL Draft Buzz cornerback rankings and seeing Malachi Moore ranked number three, would likely have the same reaction.

Going into the new NFL season, expectations for the Dallas Cowboys were not high. The consensus was that the roster was weaker this year, most notably due to the departure of Amari Cooper, and that with signs of life at the Eagles and the Giants, they would face a tough NFC East challenge.
It wasn’t the best all-around performance from either team, but the Cleveland Browns did more than enough to squeeze out a pivotal 29-17 win over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in Week 3.
One NFL playoff game (a 38-13 Wild Card defeat in 2016) in 10 years is an astonishingly poor record for a franchise that is often regarded as one of the bluebloods of the league.
In fact, the Giants are sixth on the all-time Super Bowl winners list with four, level with Green Bay and behind only Dallas and San Francisco, with five Super Bowl wins, and Pittsburgh and New England, both with six wins. Yet, the last of those wins came in 2011 and the Giants have not been competitive in the NFL for many seasons now.
It's that time of year again. The time when we all speculate about the upcoming NFL season without having seen any of the teams in action—at least not in any meaningful sense of the term.
When it comes to the NFL Rookie of the Year Awards, it's no different. We haven't seen much of any of the top candidates and how they'll actually perform in their new programs at the NFL level.
Still, we can't help but get excited about the potential these guys bring to the table and the impact they could have on their new teams. So without further ado, here are the top NFL Rookie of the Year candidates for the 2022-2023 season.
