Once again, a handful of rookies are about to take the NFL by storm.
To do so takes a special talent and the right situation. Think Saquon Barkley, Quenton Nelson and Derwin James from a year ago. Others ended up having strong years, but only the aforementioned and a select few stood out as surefire contributors upon arrival.
This year won't be any different, especially as a defensive-minded class that features plenty of pro-ready talent. Position, past production, versatility and sheer talent all project certain names as immediate starters.
Come the first snap of Week 1, these rookies will be in starting lineups and making an instant impression.
