The 2016
NFL draft class has already made its mark on the
NFL, with rookie quarterbacks
Dak Prescott of the
Dallas Cowboys and
Carson Wentz of the
Philadelphia Eagles leading their teams to the NFL's best record and wild-card contention, respectively. Both players currently rank among the top 15 quarterbacks in Pro Football Focus's grades - Prescott is 11th at 83.9 on PFF's 0-100 scale, and Wentz is 14th at 81.8 - and have arguably been less impressive than Prescott's teammate Ezekiel Elliott, who leads the NFL in rushing with 1,199 yards while also ranking as the No. 1 running back in PFF grades at 86.8.
But as good as all three of those players have been, there is an argument to be made that the best rookie in the NFL on a per-game basis resides on the defensive side of the ball:
San Diego Chargers edge defender
Joey Bosa.
Bosa is playing at a level just a notch below
Von Miller. As a rookie.
