By special request, we now present the Rookie of Year award for 2029.

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Terrence Stainbrook, WR, Minnesota. Stainbrook was a third round pick, but he put up better numbers than 1st round WRs like Matthew Russell and Dutch Schaffer. He led all rookies with 9 TD grabs and was part of the Minnesota playoff team.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Joseph Greene, DT, Los Angeles. Greene was an impact player in his first season, finishing second in the league with 13 sacks. The second round pick was a key cog in the Xtreme defense. He outplayed even first round DT picks like Chris Kilgore.

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Kleinmachnow. Not much needs to be said. When you are a rookie that wins the MVP, you are going to be the rookie of the year too. Not too shabby for a second round pick. 31 teams will be wondering why they passed on him for many years.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Frito Pendejo, CB, Branwdo Corp. This rookie first rounder was thrown into the fire as Brawndo Corp's CB1 and came through with solid play. He led the playoff bound Dildozers in tackles with 103 and had 3 INTs to go along with a team leading 28 knockdowns, most by any rookie.

Now that I don't have any game planning to do, I have some time on my hands.

Seven teams chose cornerbacks in the first round this year. Wilmington chose Barney Meyers with the 3rd pick because he had the highest floor. Now, if Barney Meyers had better hands (and had a cooler name like Frito), he could have won defensive rookie of the year easily.


Starts / Games Played
Barney Meyers #3 16/16 970 plays, 3 penalties for 20 yards, 1 fumble recovery. 1 for a touchdown
Frito Pendejo #25 16/16 1000 plays, 6 penalties for 70 yards, 2 fumble recoveries.
Alonzo Harris #5 11/15 1007 plays, 3 penalties for 17 yards, 1 fumble recovery
Anthony Cleveland #6 11/12 764 plays, 5 penalties for 36 yards, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery
Bradley Robey #20 12/12 806 player, 6 penalties for 58 yards, 1 forced fumble
Steven Splanger #27 8/16 1.028 plays, 2 penalties for 10 yards, 1 fumble recovery, 3 forced fumbles
Aaron Bastarche #7 15/16 1,476 plays, 1 penalty for 15 yards.
(includes offense)


Barney Meyers #3 75 tackles, 13 missed tackles, 90 thrown at, 30 knockdowns, 37 catches allowed, 41.1% Catch, 0 ints

Without looking at player cards, just based on the stats as presented - I'd personally choose 'Lonzo Harris. That low thrown at combined with the low % allowed & high INTs. QBs looked at him and then threw elsewhere, or paid the.price.

No disrespect to the Pendejo is intended or implied.

Yes, Harris was definitely in consideration, especially since he led all rookies in INTs, but he ultimately got dinged for playing CB3 instead of CB1, at least in my opinion. Remember all awards are a product of a voting committee of one!

Harris doesn't need the accolade; King Kong ain't got **** on him.

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ernest Williams, QB, Los Angeles. Williams took over starting QB duties as a rookie and instantly was an impact player. He had a 100 QB rating, third best in the league, to go with 4288 yards and 36 TDs. He looks like a star QB for years to come.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Allen Reynoso, CB, Wilmington. Another instant impact player, Reynoso lead the league with 12 INTs and added 36 knockdowns and five forced fumbles. He may already be the best cornerback in the game.

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Larry Deaton, WR, Irvine. Deaton lead all rookies with 8 TDs and added 58 catches for 1303 yards.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Jack Libby, S, London Ravens. Libby tied for the league lead in INTS as a rookie and may already be one of the best safeties in the league!

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Norman Kirkland, WR, Chicago. Kirkland was the best receiver in the league as a rookie putting up huge numbers, leading Chicago to the playoffs.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Omar Sitton, LB, Rapid Valley. Not much of a surprise that the #1 overall pick was a good player, but he came as advertised, leading the league in tackles as a rookie, adding 6 interceptions.
