Rookie Impact Players for NFL 2022 Season \u2013 Skilled Position Players<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Frank Coyle – Head scout\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quarterbacks<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kenny Pickett \u2013 Steelers – <\/strong>He will sit to start the season which may be best for his development. If the offense is only average or struggling at midseason, he could get the call with the intent for their long-term answer.<\/p>\n

Running Backs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

James Cook \u2013 Bills \u2013 <\/strong>Explosive scatback will be fully utilized by QB Josh Allen in time especially as a receiver where he can be an impact weapon. Great fit and big play performer.<\/p>\n

Dameon Pierce \u2013 Texans \u2013 <\/strong>Opportunity knocks here on a club desperate for production. Dameon gets a chance to carry the workload and could surprise with a 1000+ yard rushing performance.<\/p>\n

Breece Hall \u2013 Jets \u2013 <\/strong>Well rounded back will split the reps with second year Michael Carter to form a potentially strong tandem.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Spiller \u2013 Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Tough tailback will get reps behind Austin Ekeler which should elevate their rushing attack.<\/p>\n

Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Skyy Moore \u2013 Chiefs<\/strong> \u2013 Speedster should earn reps in this potent air game and become Patrick Mahomes\u2019 new best friend in their changing attack. Polished slot receiver with top run after the catch ability.<\/p>\n

Wan’Dale Robinson – Giants<\/strong> – Quick slot receiver is a highly developed pass catcher who can step in here in three wideout sets and provide solid production. He is a very dangerous runner after the catch.<\/p>\n

Alec Pierce \u2013 Colts<\/strong> \u2013 Sure handed developed receiver gives QB Matt Ryan a dependable weapon with well-rounded skills. Type with sound route running to move the chains.<\/p>\n

Jahan Dotson – Commanders –<\/strong> Versatile playmaker can give this offense a huge boost in a few roles especially if vet QB Carson Wentz reestablishes himself as a reliable starter.<\/p>\n

George Pickens \u2013 Steelers<\/strong> \u2013 Talented wideout is finally healthy and can be an early factor in multiple sets with the upside to be the #1 receiver here in time.<\/p>\n

Christian Watson \u2013 Packers<\/strong> \u2013 Big fast athlete hopes to shine in the Packers young receiving corps where he could be a factor working with Aaron Rodgers. Kid has a huge ceiling in time.<\/p>\n

Romeo Doubs \u2013 Packers<\/strong> \u2013 Athlete is well versed in a pro style passing game and can find a niche in three wideout sets here and become a reliable target for Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Treylon Burks – Titans<\/strong> \u2013 Strong athlete gives opportunity to become the go to receiver in this attack.<\/p>\n

Danny Gray \u2013 49ers<\/strong> \u2013 Speedster gives young Trey Lance a vertical threat to break open a game quickly. He gets time in multiple sets and should usually face single coverage.<\/p>\n

Kyle Philips \u2013 Titans<\/strong> \u2013 Quick versatile receiver shows sure hands and run after the catch ability to fill a role here. \u00a0He is tough to get off line and a solid slot receiver.<\/p>\n

Jalen Tolbert \u2013 Cowboys<\/strong> \u2013 Sure handed possession receiver gets an early opportunity in the thin Cowboys receiving corps. He uses his long frame well and can move the chains.<\/p>\n

Tight Ends<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Trey McBride \u2013 Cardinals \u2013 <\/strong>Agile pas catcher with fine movement and route running skills should become a favorite of Kyler Murray. Capable of top production early.<\/p>\n

Jelani Woods \u2013 Colts \u2013 <\/strong>Huge athlete with skills to become a top flight NFL performer. In the Colts\u2019 TE friendly offense, look for new vet QB Matt Ryan to go to him often on the short and middle routes.<\/p>\n

Daniel Bellinger \u2013 Giants \u2013 <\/strong>Sure handed athlete wins the starting job and should become a favorite of QB Daniel Jones especially in the shorter zones.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Rucker \u2013 Jets \u2013<\/strong> Talented rookie is dangerous in red zone, though might struggle for reps with new vets CJ Uzomah and Tyler Conklin forming a deep unit.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Likely \u2013 Ravens \u2013 <\/strong>Coming off an impressive preseason and good fit for an offense that uses multiple TEs in different roles. Fine H-back weapon.<\/p>\n
