Thaiphoon Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Just putting this out there. Gibson gets an Honorable Mention. Enjoy: https://www.washingtonfootball.com/news/chase-young-kamren-curl-pff-2020-all-rookie-team?fbclid=IwAR3462rvifQVwFv9lO_e1ZeRMOtdRnna-_vK27l1nu0gLh-P7zOVytnRyAs Quote Young might not have started with the numbers that showed his true potential, but he has improved each game and become an all-around player. The rookie defensive end finished his first regular season leading all rookies in sacks (7.5), forced fumbles (5) and tackles for loss or no gain against the run (11). Young capped off his season with a 87.2 overall grade from PFF, which is only behind Aldon Smith, Von Miller and Nick Bosa for the highest overall grades among rookie edge defenders over the past decade. Miller and Bosa went on to earn Defensive Rookie of the Year honors; Young is widely considered to be the odds-on favorite to win the award this year. "He is likely the most talented defensive lineman on what has emerged as one of the best defensive lines in the NFL this season. If Young does walk away with the defensive rookie of the year award, it will be well deserved," PFF's Ben Linsey. Quote Curl was not considered in nearly as high of a regard as Young -- he was a seventh-round pick, while Young was taken No. 2 overall -- but he has still been effective since entering the starting lineup for Landon Collins, who was placed on Injured Reserve after Week 7. Curl has exceeded head coach Ron Rivera's expectations since training camp. He finished his debut season with a 68.0 overall grade in 763 defensive snaps, making Curl the highest graded rookie safety. After playing several positions in Washington's secondary, Curl has found himself excelling at the strong safety position with 88 tackles, two sacks, three interceptions -- one of which was returned for a touchdown -- and four pass deflections. "His 19 run stops were more than any other rookie safety this season, as were his 16 stops in coverage," Linsey said. "The defensive line gets all the headlines in Washington, but Curl is part of a back seven that has quietly played very well for much of the season." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Bright future on defense with all this young talent. We just need an upgrade at MLB & a true FS and our D will truly be elite next year and for years to come.

turtle28 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Sorry I tried to post a graphic of Chase Young having the top PFF grade of all rookie players but for some reason it won’t load from Twitter even though other graphics are.
