Week 17 NFL Rookie Power Rankings Tristan Wirfs jumps into top 3 behind pair of Justins Herbert Jefferson

The NFL regular season is coming to an end, and while some rookies will advance to the playoffs, most will not. The 2020 NFL Draft cla s proved to be even more loaded than initially projected. Justin Herbert and Justin Jefferson have had record-breaking campaigns while the offensive tackle cla s was every bit as good as expected. Only one can be crowned Offensive or Defensive Rookie Jung-ho Kang Jersey of the Year though. Without further ado, the cumulative rookie power rankings post-Week 16.Week 17 Rookie Rankings1 Los Angeles Chargers QB Sunday was not Justin Herbert's most impre sive game but the Chargers will happily take 250 pa sing yards and zero turnovers in a victory from their rookie quarterback. He broke Baker Mayfield's record for most pa sing touchdowns by a rookie.2 Minnesota Vikings WR Short of a 300 yard receiving game in Week 17, Justin Jefferson will not set the mark Dave Parker Jersey for most receiving yards by a rookie but he can still surpa s Randy Mo s' franchise record with 46 yards.3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs has been the best rookie offensive tackle in the NFL this season. As a whole, the incoming rookie tackle cla s has been as advertised and teams that took their shot will benefit for years to come. Wirfs is at the head of the cla s.4 New England Patriots OT Michael Onwenu has been a stabilizing presence along the New England offensive line despite being yanked to and from various positions early in the year. It looks like he will be a staple in Foxborough for years.5 Washington Football Team DE Chase Young has started to settle in as the season is coming to a close, which bodes well for his future with the franchise. He has really grown as a leader in addition to his on-field efforts.6 Carolina Panthers OLB It could be argued that Jeremy Chinn has made more big plays on defense than any other rookie this season. Most veterans would kill to have one defensive touchdown in their career and Chinn had two on consecutive plays.7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers SS Antoine Winfield Jr. has been the picture of consistency from the beginning of the season to the end. Tampa Bay obviously has some i sues to sort out but the young safety is not one of them.8 Indianapolis Colts FS Julian Blackmon hit a stretch in the middle of the season where he was making big Josh Bell Jersey impact plays and those have just not been on display as much in recent weeks. The future is still rather promising for him.9 New York Jets OT Myles Garrett got Mekhi Becton a few times but the rookie held up very well. He has been tested by some of the league's best pa s rushers this season and that is only going to make him more prepared in the future.10 Jacksonville Jaguars RB James Robinson was inactive this week against the Bears but his body of work over the course of the season validates his stance as a top 10 rookie.11 Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins had a Keone Kela Jersey big day in Cincinnati's win over Houston. The production has not always been there this season from the Clemson product, but the talent has never wavered.12 Atlanta Falcons CB Atlanta held Patrick Mahomes to sub 300 yards pa sing and just 17 points. It was their lowest scoring output since Oct. 6, 2019 against the Colts.13 Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has a legitimate chance to crack 1,000 rushing yards on the year in Week 17 and that seemed like a pipe dream a little over a month ago. If he rushes for 84 yards against the Jaguars, he will reach the milestone.14 Kansas City Chiefs CB Kansas City sent L'Jarius Sneed after Matt Ryan a few times and that led to a sack. The rookie has been a versatile and capable performer for the defending Super Bowl champions, who also received good production from rookie linebacker Willie Gay as well.15 Ivan Nova Jersey Detroit Lions OG Detroit had some i sues with the Tampa Bay defensive front and Frank Ragnow out. Jonah Jackson has still had a positive season.
