Checking in on the NFC's rookies

Plus: some second-year breakout players

New Pod! Jon and I run through some interesting second-year players before analyzing the early returns on the NFC’s rookies. We discuss:

  • How Rome Odunze has improved after a rocky rookie season.

  • Is Ricky Pearsall a different player than his college evaluation suggested?

  • Byron Murphy’s numbers are good, but is he a 1v1 difference-maker for Seattle?

  • Has Tykee Smith quietly become one of the best defensive backs in the league?

  • AJ Barner has just seven catches this year, but his impact goes well beyond the box score for the Seahawks

  • Top offensive & defensive rookies at each position through 4 weeks
