Being a rookie in the NFL is tough. Going from college football to the pros causes every aspect of the game to turn up a notch. Some guys catch onto the speed of the game quickly and do an excellent job of creating an immediate impact for their team.
Other guys tend to struggle a bit and go through what many like to call “growing pains.” Former Penn State football running back Saquon Barkley was a part of the first group last season, as he earned Rookie of the Year honors after his first season with the New York Giants.
