Rookie impact: The best of their best
Le'Veon Bell would have had 1,000 yards had he played all 16 games. He only fell short by 160 yards. On the catching end of things he went for 399. I don't know about you but I think that's huge - especially that last one. I got SO tired of seeing Mendy drop balls when he was WIDE open in the flat!
Jarvis Jones I thought came up pretty big for a rookie as well. 40 tackles on the year.
Marcus Weaton showed a flash of why we drafted him when he caught a short pass and took it for 21 yards.
Vince Williams had a key stop against Green Bay.
And Shamarko Thomas was solid in a lot of ways. He's not going to be a starter any time soon but he shown some growth I think.
Overall I think we got a pretty good rookie class. We'll have to wait a few years to see how it pans out for sure but if it holds, we'll turn things around for sure.
This season we were bound to have a slow start. We lost a RB, WR, LB, NT all in the offseason plus the injuries in the first game.
But we got those issues settled and finished strong on the year. I expect big things from us next year, especially if we can get that NT problem solved.
