Brock Bowers has already set a new record for receptions in a season by a rookie tight end, passing Sam LaPorta's mark of 86, which was set last season. Now, Bowers has his sights on a rookie record that has stood for more than six decades: Hall of Famer Mike Ditka's 1,076 receiving yards in 1961. It's doable, as Bowers has four games left and has been targeted on a quarter of the routes he has run this season.
There are some evaluators in the league who say he isn't just the best rookie tight end, but perhaps the best overall tight end in the league. He has the fifth-most receiving yards out of every pass-catcher.
Caleb Williams hasn't thrown an interception in seven straight games, showcasing his growth and consistency as a quarterback. This impressive run has significantly bolstered his standing among rookies.
As the analysts ranked the top 10 rookies through Week 14, it was clear that the competition is fierce. Players like Bo Nix and Brock Bowers have pushed to the forefront, each making a case for Rookie of the Year.
