This year's class threw the most TD passes ever by rookie QBs in one NFL weekend. Here's a breakdown, along with other Week 6 rookie feats.
With so much coverage of this year's promising class of rookie quarterbacks, it's easy to overlook the historical aspect of this past weekend. Five rookie starters — Chicago's Caleb Williams, Washington's Jayden Daniels, New England's Drake Maye, Denver's Bo Nix and New Orleans' Spencer Rattler — combined for 12 touchdown passes.
The surprise impact Sunday came from three late-round picks. Fifth-round corners Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart both started and played 105 of 110 defensive snaps, and sixth-round running back Kimani Vidal, making his NFL debut, caught a 38-yard touchdown pass from Justin Herbert. Fourth-round backs shine as injury replacements Last week, it was the Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr. and the Dolphins' Jaylen Wright who stepped in as injury replacements and helped their teams to victory.
