Best 2023 NFL rookies: Final top-10 ranking, standouts, stats

The 2023 NFL rookie class has been memorable. This season, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud set a single-game rookie passing record in Week 9. Rams receiver Puka Nacua set an NFL record for the most receiving yards in a season by a rookie. Two running backs rushed for more than 900 yards. Eighteen defenders had three or more sacks. And an NFL-record 10 rookie quarterbacks recorded a start for their team.

Now that the regular season is over, we have arrived at our final top-10 rookie rankings. This ranking takes only the regular season into consideration, so anything that happened this past weekend in the playoffs is off limits and not factored into the stats.
