Raiders TE Brock Bowers named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for November

Raiders rookie phenom TE Brock Bowers’s historic November has him named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for November.

Being on a record pace not just for tight ends but for a rookie at any positions tends to garner some attention. And Brock Bowers has earned some notoriety of late, including, as of Thursday being announced as the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month for November.

The 13th overall pick put up some monster numbers in November with 32 catches for 349 yards and three touchdowns over four games inside the month.

He set two new career highs in the month, first against Miami when he had the third most catches in a game in franchise history (13) for 126 yards and a touchdown. Then he finished the month strong in a hostile environment in Kansas City when he posted a new career-high with 140 yards on ten catches and a touchdown.

Even before this past month, Bowers was on an historic pace that put him among the greatest tight ends in NFL history.

His consistent ability to get open, make tough catches, and get yards after the catch had head coach Antonio Pierce removing all comparisons from his uniquely talented rookie offensive weapon.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud earns NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has been named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for September 2023.

The NFL has named Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for September.

Stroud becomes the first Texans rookie to win the award since 2017 and the eighth player in team history to earn such an honor.

The No. 2 overall pick completed 78-of-121 pass attempts (64.5%) for 906 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions with 98.0 passer rating. Stroud is first in all major passing categories among rookies across the NFL including completions, yards, passer rating, touchdown passes, touchdown-interception ratio, yards per attempt and more.

Stroud’s completion percentage, completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns, and passer rating all rank first by a Texans rookie through the first three weeks of any season. The former Ohio State product’s passer rating is also the third-highest in league history by a rookie in the same time frame.

Stroud is the first Texans offensive rookie to win the award since October 2017. Receiver DeAndre Hopkins secured the award in September 2013. Running back Steve Slaton picked up the honor in December 2008. Running back Domanick Williams was the first Texans offensive rookie to earn the award in October 2003.

Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts was when Stroud built the bulk of his campaign for rookie of the month. In the 31-20 loss at NRG Stadium, Stroud completed 30 passes on 47 attempts for 384 yards, two touchdowns, and a 103.5 passer rating. Not only were they the second-most passing yards in team history for a rookie, but they were the second-most by a player 21-or-younger since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Only Matthew Stafford’s 422 in 2009 were more.

Stroud’s 906 passer yards are also the third-most in NFL history for a rookie through Week 3. Only Cam Newton’s 1,012 in 2011 and Justin Herbert’s 931 in 2020 are more.

Stroud has also surpassed Warren Moon (103), Carson Wentz (102), Case Keenum (102) and Tom Brady (101) for most passes attempted to begin a career without an interception with 121 and counting.

In total, the Texans now have nine total rookie of the month winners, including coach DeMeco Ryans as a linebacker in December 2006.

NFL names Chris Olave Offensive Rookie of the Month for September

NFL names Saints first-round draft pick Chris Olave its Offensive Rookie of the Month for September:

[mm-video type=video id=01ge572kkk2qb7ndx6m2 playlist_id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ge572kkk2qb7ndx6m2/01ge572kkk2qb7ndx6m2-cafa1c8abd607e37a2905dea6d29a131.jpg]

Bang: the NFL has selected Chris Olave as its Offensive Rookie of the Month for September, putting the New Orleans Saints wide receiver under a bright spotlight. It’s well-deserved recognition after his strong start to the 2022 season — Olave currently leads the Saints in targets (29), receptions (17), and receiving yards (268), boasting an impressive 15.8 yards per catch.

Drafted at No. 12 overall out of Ohio State, Olave is joined by Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd (selected at No. 27 out of Utah) as the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for September. They’ve been leading the charge for what’s looking like another strong rookie draft class.

It’s almost hard to believe that more big plays have been left on the field, but it’s true. Olave has gotten open early and often against some of the NFL’s best defensive backs, toasting corners like A.J. Terrell, Carlton Davis, and Jaycee Horn, but Jameis Winston has struggled to throw accurate passes his way while battling a couple of different injuries. Hopefully he can adjust and get even stronger production out of one of the NFL’s most exciting first-year players.
