ET80 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Gonna go homer and add in rookie S Justin Reid to the mix. He's been outstanding as the #3 S on this team, tracking the ball well and creating turnovers pretty frequently (three INTs, on FR, one TD). He's also got 52 tackles on the season and 7 PDs - outstanding numbers for a starting S, let alone a backup. His figures are actually on par with Derwin James, actually.

I remember noticing him Week 1 vs. Cinci. You could just tell he was going to be a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say no to that, Leonard looks like a budding star for Indianapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Some really impressive defensive rookies this year. Vander Esch, Leonard, Ward, James, Bates, and Chubb are all in the running for DROY at this point. It's a shame the OROY race isn't nearly as close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be overlooked, but Minkah Fitzpatrick has been outstanding while playing safety, nickel, and outside corner. In his last game he held Davante Adams to 0 yards on 3 targets. Miami doesn't have a pass rush either, and Xavien Howard isn't exactly an easy target on the other side of the field. He doesn't quite have the splash plays of other rookies (1 INT, 5 PBU, 1 TFL) but his coverage skills through 10 games have been elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an easy guy to root for in the pre-draft process. We all are overlooking Justin Reid too, who is having a great rookie season in the secondary.
