An unheralded rookie quarterback, drafted much later than the vast majority of franchise signal-callers, who was never expected to start early in his career, suddenly takes over as the starter after an impressive preseason. He goes on to have one of the best rookie seasons ever with a QB rating in the triple digits, a sparkling yards per attempt (Y/A) near 8.0, over 3,000 yards passing and 30 total touchdowns despite playing in a ball-control offense, all while limiting turnovers. The rookie earns a Pro Bowl nod while racking up double-digit regular season wins, and a surprising playoff berth that shocked many in the NFL world where conventional wisdom writes off the possibility of such impressively consistent performances from a rookie at the most important, and most difficult position in the sport.
