Lance ZierleinHOST
Now, five of them were solo, but he's 14 tackles.
Lance ZierleinHOST
There's a good chance that he's gonna be right there in the mix for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Lance ZierleinHOST
I mean, like Carson Schwesinger, and I, I think that may have been my comp on him, because he's smart and he's all over everything.
Lance ZierleinHOST
Like, wherever the ball gets to, he's gonna get to, and it's gonna be like that all year as long as he stays healthy.
Dan PatrickHOST
Uh, Jacob Rodriguez, 14 tackles in his first game with the Dolphins.
Dan PatrickHOST
He's now plus 800 to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year, fifth best odds.
Dan PatrickHOST
He was a Heisman candidate for a little while at Texas Tech.
Dan PatrickHOST
Isaiah Likely had eight catches, 78 yards, two touchdowns, and he spent four years backing up Mark Andrews in Baltimore.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
But if you didn't have anything and you wanted to fire on the Ravens, I would not fault you for doing so.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
How about this? Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
As the odds were reposted earlier today, I was pretty shocked to see this guy priced where he is, and that is linebacker for Tampa Bay, Josiah Trotter at 30 to one There's a few elements at play here.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
He is the first player to have a sack and a pick six in their first career game since sacks became an official stat in 1982.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
Can you get behind Josiah Trotter at that number when we think about what Devin White and some others have looked like within the structure of this defense in the past? Trotter's a legacy, right? His father played in the league for a long time.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
He had a good career at Missouri as well.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
I think this is worth a look at 30-1, Josiah Trotter, to be your d- defensive rookie of the year.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
Sticking with the theme of young players, let's do this on Dead or Alive.
Tony WigginsHOST
I'm talking about Carson Swetsham, who's the Rookie of the Year.
Tony WigginsHOST
Jarrett Verse, who at one point I believe he was the Defensive Rookie of the Year also, or something like that.
Tony WigginsHOST
It's not chopped liver here, man.
Tony WigginsHOST
This dude was doing his job while the Jacksonville Jaguars were moving the ball.
Tony WigginsHOST
Chipping, then getting up to the linebackers.
Tony WigginsHOST
There was one play, I think he chipped, uh, he chipped Jarrett first, and then he helped Emmanuel Pregnon.
Tony WigginsHOST
He got up to the next level, and him and Pregnon took the, uh, Defensive Player of the Year, the Defensive Rookie of the last year, and they gave him a ride on the Duval Express right out of bounds.
Tony WigginsHOST
Good things the Jaguars don't listen to a whole bunch of people.
Mitch MossHOST
I wanna point out that rookie edge for the Jets, David Bailey, had a really good debut yesterday, including a sack.
Mitch MossHOST
He is the short shot to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Mitch MossHOST
I might grab a little bit of him 'cause I have Jacob Rodriguez at a big number for the Dolphins, and he was an absolute stud yesterday, but I think Bailey is gonna be the real deal as well.
Mitch MossHOST
And I will point out again that if the Jets break through their ceiling this year, and let's say that they're maybe in a, in the mix for a play- may- g- may maybe even go beyond their ceiling, and they are in the mix for a playoff spot or somehow win, like, 10 games, Aaron Glenn is your Coach of the Year winner under that scenario.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
But we are going to go over a lot of these rookies in the league.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
We're going to talk about some updated offensive and defensive rookie of the year positions.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
Look at some surprise guys who really stood out for good and bad reasons.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
And then we're going to take you guys' questions as well because we know that you guys want to get in on the show.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
Mostly good, but of course some that we got to get to that weren't so good.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
In the meantime, we'll obviously talk about some overall team performances and we'll mix all that good stuff in.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
But the way that Connor and I have it structured here at the beginning of the year is – What we're going to do for Rookie Report is sort of update our offensive and defensive rookie of the year odds.
Trevor SikkemaHOST
So obviously, there's sometimes not a ton of change at the very top because it's guys that we still think are the frontrunners to win the award.
Mitch MossHOST

Kevin SheehanHOST
Sam in Sterling, what's your bold prediction for our team in 2026?
SamAUDIENCE
Hey, Kevin.
SamAUDIENCE
Uh, so my bold prediction, I think Sonny Stiles will win Rookie of Year, uh, for, uh, Defensive Rookie of the Year.
SamAUDIENCE
Um, I kind of look at, you know, the rookies, um, on the defensive side, and I know the popular pick is Caleb Downs, um, but I, I just think, um, you know, I think Sonny will have more of a bigger impact for us, uh, if our defense does turn out to be, like, top half, so...
Jamie ErdahlHOST
So take a look back.
Jamie ErdahlHOST
