Our look at the NFL's notable rookies starts with Bo Nix's struggles. Pass-catchers Brock Bowers and Marvin Harrison Jr. are faring much better.
It's only two games, but Bo Nix has gotten off to a rough start in Denver. Nix, the sixth quarterback drafted in April and taken with the 12th overall pick, had 45 touchdowns against three interceptions last year at Oregon. After two NFL games, he already has four interceptions, with no touchdown passes.
The others were Hollywood Brown with the Ravens in 2019 and the Cardinals' Anquan Boldin in 2003 . Not everybody connects with a quarterback right away, and the other extreme so far is Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell, a second-rounder from Texas. In two games, he has two catches on nine targets. Since targets became a stat in 1992, only once has a player had as many targets and fewer catches — the Raiders' Darrius Heyward-Bey, who caught one pass on 10 targets in 2009.
