In a year where the Washington Football Team wasn’t expected to win many games or compete for a playoff spot, the main goal was to focus on young talent and develop the newer players on their roster while looking towards future success.

It looks like that goal has been achieved, with ESPN naming both DE Chase Young and RB Antonio Gibson as two of the top 10 rookies in the NFL this season. Young comes in at No. 5 on the list, with 18 total tackles and 3.5 sacks, while Gibson slots in three spots later at No. 8, with over 600 total yards and seven touchdowns.

Outside of both Young and Gibson, Washington fans can feel very confident that they found a few other rookie gems this season, with players like Kamren Curl and Isaiah Wright playing above expectations, while there are still high hopes for both Saahdiq Charles and Antonio Gandy-Golden, though they’ve been dealing with injuries for a lot of the season so far.
