PFF Rookie of the Year Rankings (Week 15)(New number 1)

quote:
2. Marshon Lattimore, CB, New Orleans Saints
PFF Grade: 91.7
PFF Elite Stat: Opposing QBs have just a 37.5 passer rating when targeting Lattimore in coverage, only A.J. Bouye (29.5) has held QBs to a lower rating.
Lattimore ranks just behind White as our fourth-highest graded cornerback this season and he’s one of just six corners who presently own an elite PFF grade (over 90.0). The former Ohio State star put up an 85.7 overall grade in Week 15 against Bryce Petty and the Jets – his seventh game this season with a grade of at least 80.0 – as he allowed just 3-of-7 targets to be caught and had both an interception and a pass breakup. Lattimore has allowed a first down or touchdown on just 24.0 percent of the targets into his coverage this season, the fifth-lowest rate among corners and significantly lower than the league average of 37.4 percent. This race is going to be extremely tight down the stretch, now that Lattimore is back and healthy, can he make a push over the last two weeks to jump White and re-claim the No. 1 spot he held for a good chunk of the season?
quote:
3. Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
PFF Grade: 90.1
PFF Elite Stat: Kamara leads all RBs with a 128.9 elusive rating this season.
Kamara ranks second among running backs in terms of overall grade with two weeks to go in the regular season and he’s one of just two running backs (the other being Todd Gurley) to rank within the top-10 among backs in both run grade and receiving grade. He ranks third among all players – not just running backs – with an average of 2.69 yards per route run and he’s picked up a first down or touchdown on 45.6 percent of his targets this season, the third-best rate among the 17 running backs who’ve seen at least 50 targets this season. Kamara has posted a game grade below 70.0 just once since the start of Week 3 (69.8 in Week 8) and over that stretch he’s been north of 80.0 on six occasions. Can he hold off a late-season push from the guy right below him on this list and possibly take home Offensive Rookie of the Year honors?
quote:
9. Ryan Ramczyk, OT, New Orleans Saints
PFF Grade: 83.0
PFF Elite Stat: Ramczyk ranks 15th among tackles with a 96.5 pass blocking efficiency.
Ramczyk ranks eighth among tackles in terms of overall grade and he’s one of just six tackles to have a grade over 80.0 in both pass protection and as a run blocker. The last pick of the first-round has now allowed one or fewer pressures in 10 games this season. Ramczyk has finished just three games all season with a grade below 70.0 and his consistent play opposite of Terron Armstead is a big reason why Drew Brees has been pressured on just 22.8 percent of his dropbacks this year, the lowest rate among quarterbacks.

Honorable Mentions:
Carl Lawson, Edge, Cincinnati Bengals
Dalvin Tomlinson, DI, New York Giants
Budda Baker, S, Arizona Cardinals
Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
Marlon Humphrey, CB, Baltimore Ravens
Leonard Fournette, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Marcus Williams, S, New Orleans Saints
Cooper Kupp, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Jourdan Lewis, CB, Dallas Cowboys
Adoree’ Jackson, CB, Tennessee Titans
I saw this coming with our run game struggling and Kamara dropping the deep ball from Brees.
Lattimore and White had great games last week.
OROY and DROY race will come down to the wire this year.

I liked White in college but I never imagined him being this good

Lattimore just needs to take care of business against Julio and it's over for White. The fact that Lattimore made the Pro Bowl and White didn’t may have already sealed it.
Posted on 12/20/17 at 12:35 pm to Mystery
Is it just me, or do they have Tre listed as a RB?

I see it too. They make a ton of typos.

Bills play the pats.
Early season Brady needs to show up.

Wow...I know Tre has played really well this year, but did not think he would grade out higher than Lattimore.
3 Saints in the top 10 is phenomenal. This is how you build for a run for the next few years, have top level talent on rookie deals for a few years. Very exciting times

Grades for PFF are not an average per game score. So with Lattimore missing 4 games, he lost 4 chances to increase his score.
For example I believe Latt scored in the 80s for last weeks game. But his season score still went up a point.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification

For whatever its worth, Lattimore is a full year plus younger than WHite.

The fans vote on the pro bowl, not the media or players. The pro bowl is a legit popularity contest. So the fact that Lattimore made the Pro Bowl and White didn't just shows you that if you're playing at an elite level (both are) and your team is winning (Lattimore's is) then the fans will notice.

Three of the top 10 rookies is a damn strong draft class.

That is not true.
33% fan vote
33% players
33% coaches
Slim chance of White getting in over those corners in the AFC though. Some studs in that group.

I like to tell LSU homers the same thing when they bang the Tiger drum here, but Tre White is a great human being with a strong work ethic. If you can’t appreciate that as a fan of football, you can eff off.

If that were true, Yao Ming would be the starting quarterback for the AFC.

I'm still waiting on Derek Barnett to make this list.
