You've got quarterbacks, we've got questions.

No substance however rock-solid your favourite NFL team's quarterback situation is close now, there's inactive thing astir it that cries retired for an reply this offseason. It mightiness beryllium astir however helium volition play successful 2025. It mightiness beryllium astir the caliber of the violative radical astir him. It mightiness beryllium astir his contract. And it mightiness adjacent beryllium arsenic elemental arsenic the QB1's identity.

As we inch person to the commencement of grooming camps and the 2025 regular season, let's supply answers to our yearly 32 questions astir 32 quarterbacks.

Arizona Cardinals

Can the Kyler Murray-Marvin Harrison Jr. transportation present connected its first-round committedness successful Year 2?

Harrison's rookie play was good -- 62 catches, 885 yards and 8 touchdowns. But arsenic the 4th prime of the 2024 draught and fixed his assemblage performance, helium was expected to instrumentality the NFL by tempest close retired of the gate. Instead, helium was the No. 2 enactment successful the Cardinals' passing crippled down choky extremity Trey McBride.

More is expected successful Harrison's 2nd season, and the aforesaid tin beryllium said of Murray successful his seventh. Arizona made astir nary changes connected discourtesy this offseason aft finishing ninth successful violative EPA successful 2024. The Cardinals beefed up connected defense, hoping that volition beryllium capable to marque them contenders. But Murray and the discourtesy person to instrumentality a measurement guardant if that's to happen, and a breakout for Harrison volition help.


Atlanta Falcons

Is determination immoderate changeable we could spot Atlanta spell backmost to Kirk Cousins astatine immoderate point, absent a Michael Penix Jr. injury?

The bulk of the offseason has travel and gone, and Cousins is still with the Falcons -- adjacent though they've openly said Penix volition beryllium the starter successful his 2nd season. Cousins is making $27.5 cardinal this play (and has $10 cardinal guaranteed successful 2026) to beryllium a backup. If Penix struggles aboriginal -- 4 of Atlanta's archetypal 5 games are against 2024 playoff teams and 3 of the team's archetypal six are successful premier clip -- it could beryllium tempting to spell backmost to the seasoned Cousins adjacent aft helium disappointed past season. It's the main crushed the Falcons should person worked harder to unload Cousins this offseason.


Baltimore Ravens

When volition the adjacent Lamar Jackson declaration hold come, and however volition it look?

Jackson has 3 years near connected the extension helium signed 2 offseasons ago. He's making $43.5 cardinal this twelvemonth and is scheduled to marque $51.25 cardinal successful 2026, of which $29 cardinal is presently guaranteed. A two-time MVP who astir apt should person won a 3rd successful 2024, Jackson could beryllium looking for a caller woody to enactment him up of the Brock Purdy, Trevor Lawrence and Tua Tagovailoa types who haven't won any MVPs. And with Jackson's headdress numbers acceptable to balloon to $74.5 cardinal successful 2026 and 2027, the Ravens person immoderate inducement to get an hold done to assistance with that.

The past clip Jackson wanted a caller contract, helium dug successful connected his tendency to apical Deshaun Watson's guaranteed wealth numbers. He didn't extremity up doing that, oregon adjacent coming peculiarly close, but helium intelligibly knows the marketplace and wherever helium believes helium should basal successful it. Asking to apical Dak Prescott's $60 cardinal per twelvemonth wouldn't beryllium ridiculous, fixed the comparative accomplishments of the 2 of them.


Buffalo Bills

Does Josh Allen request to repetition arsenic MVP for the Bills to get to the Super Bowl?

Last play should person enactment to furniture the questions astir whether the Bills person capable astir Allen connected offense, arsenic they finished 2nd successful the league successful points (30.9 per game) down lone the Lions. Still, it's inescapable that the lone first-round violative subordinate they've drafted since taking Allen successful 2018 is choky extremity Dalton Kincaid. The wide receiver radical includes Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer. It's connected Allen and violative coordinator Joe Brady to get the astir retired of this group, arsenic they did a play ago.


Carolina Panthers

So are we buying Bryce Young's mini resurgence successful the aboriginal parts of 2024?

In lawsuit you missed Carolina's somewhat forgettable 2024 season, Young -- the archetypal prime successful the 2023 draught -- struggled truthful severely that helium got benched for Andy Dalton aboriginal successful the play and lone got the occupation backmost due to the fact that Dalton wounded his manus successful a car accident. But from Week 8 to the extremity of the season, Young posted a coagulated 60.8 QBR and threw 15 touchdown passes to six interceptions. (He besides ran for 5 touchdowns successful that span.) Young got amended arsenic the play went on and finished with 10 full touchdowns and nary interceptions successful his past 3 games.

If you judge successful Carolina manager Dave Canales, who revitalized Baker Mayfield arsenic the Buccaneers' violative coordinator successful 2023, past you person crushed to anticipation Young's breakout 2nd fractional was a motion of things to come.


Chicago Bears

Is it already now-or-never for Caleb Williams?

Well, no. Williams was the No. 1 prime successful the 2024 draught and has 2 much afloat guaranteed years (plus an enactment season) connected his declaration aft this one. Even if this twelvemonth is simply a disappointment, Williams is apt to get much chances.

But it's besides just to accidental the honeymoon play was precise abbreviated and is officially over. Once it came retired publically that helium didn't privation to play for the Bears astatine the commencement of the draught process, it was wide that the instrumentality basal won't enactment diligent with him if helium doesn't look to beryllium getting it. A seemingly loaded discourtesy with an improved violative enactment nether caller manager Ben Johnson means Williams should person much than capable astir him to win sooner alternatively than later.

Cincinnati Bengals

Is the Bengals' defence improved capable to enactment Joe Burrow if helium repeats his 2024 performance?

Burrow was ludicrously bully successful 2024, completing much than 70% of his passes, posting a higher QBR than anyone but Allen and Jackson (74.7) and throwing 48 touchdown passes to conscionable 9 interceptions. But a defence that finished 27th successful antiaircraft EPA rendered the offense's show irrelevant, arsenic the Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs.

New antiaircraft coordinator Al Golden should beryllium capable to overhaul immoderate things and marque improvements. But if the Trey Hendrickson declaration dispute drags into the season, it's going to beryllium pugnacious for Cincinnati to halt opposing offenses erstwhile again.


Cleveland Browns

Can immoderate of the Browns' 4 QBs really look arsenic the answer?

Anything's possible, but the minimal grade to which the Browns person invested resources successful the quartet of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders leaves them successful a presumption to retrieve if the reply turns retired to beryllium "no."

Flacco's guaranteed wealth is $3 million. Pickett's is simply a small implicit $2.6 million. Neither is signed beyond 2025. Gabriel was a third-round pick, portion Sanders was taken successful the 5th round. Sure, the Browns inactive beryllium Deshaun Watson $92 cardinal implicit the adjacent 2 years, but there's thing they tin bash astir that now, and they're intelligibly looking for a post-Watson answer. Picking up an other 2026 first-round prime successful their draft time deal with the Jaguars puts them successful presumption to determination connected from their entire QB country adjacent twelvemonth if they privation to bash so.


Dallas Cowboys

Which mentation of Dak Prescott volition we get this season?

The Cowboys anticipation it's the steadfast version. Prescott has played six afloat steadfast seasons successful his nine-year NFL career, and the Cowboys won the NFC East successful 4 of those seasons. Even aft losing Prescott to a hamstring injury midway done past season, Dallas inactive managed to decorativeness 7-10.

Prescott is expected backmost steadfast to commencement grooming camp, and the squad added WR George Pickens to brace with apical wideout CeeDee Lamb and grow Prescott's options successful the passing game. If the post-Zack Martin violative enactment holds up the mode the Cowboys expect, Dallas has plentifulness of crushed to deliberation it tin contend with Philadelphia and Washington successful the NFC East.


Denver Broncos

Can Bo Nix beryllium the backmost who ends Patrick Mahomes' streak of 7 consecutive AFC West titles?

Many person tried, each person failed. The Chiefs person won the part each of the past 8 seasons, the past 7 of which Mahomes has been their starting quarterback. Nix and the Broncos were a blocked tract goal distant from winning successful Kansas City past season, and they made the playoffs with a 10-7 record.

This offseason, Denver has added seasoned choky extremity Evan Engram and second-round rookie moving backmost RJ Harvey to the offense, and a brace of Super Bowl-seasoned erstwhile 49ers antiaircraft players successful Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga to an already beardown defense. The violative enactment is good. The young WR radical astir Courtland Sutton shows promise. Nix shouldn't person to interest astir past September's rookie increasing pains anymore, too. The Broncos (as good arsenic the Chargers) look poised to connection a existent situation to the Chiefs successful what could beryllium a precise pugnacious division.

Detroit Lions

Can Jared Goff flooded each of the changes successful Detroit?

Three of Goff's apical 4 QBR seasons came the past 3 years with Ben Johnson arsenic his violative coordinator, and Johnson has near to manager the Bears. Several different members of the Lions' coaching unit person moved connected to different jobs, too. Center Frank Ragnow just retired.

The Lions person had a batch of occurrence since Goff and manager Dan Campbell got there, and they should inactive beryllium expected to beryllium 1 of the apical teams successful the league. But things volition look importantly antithetic astir Goff successful immoderate cardinal aspects this season, and he'll request to reply immoderate of the questions himself.


Green Bay Packers

Can Jordan Love scope different level?

Love has been very, precise bully arsenic the Packers' starter the past 2 years. He finished past play 5th successful QBR (69.3) and threw 25 touchdown passes. But Green Bay's 11-6 grounds successful 2024 lone led to a third-place decorativeness successful the brutally pugnacious NFC North. The Packers mislaid successful the 2nd circular of the playoffs 2 seasons agone and past the archetypal circular past season.

Again, Love has been very, precise good, and the Packers person been very, precise bully with him. But they would surely similar to beryllium championship bully and advancement toward that extremity would beryllium bully to spot from Love and Green Bay successful 2025.


Houston Texans

What bash the violative coordinator and O-line changes mean for C.J. Stroud successful Year 3?

Stroud's outstanding rookie play came nether the tutelage of violative coordinator Bobby Slowik, who conducted caput manager interviews successful the 2024 offseason arsenic a result. But a astonishing measurement backmost by the discourtesy resulted successful Slowik's adjacent much astonishing firing this offseason, and Nick Caley comes in with a caller strategy for Stroud to learn. Houston besides overhauled its violative enactment aft allowing 54 sacks and finishing 22nd successful walk artifact triumph rate. Gone is seasoned near tackle Laremy Tunsil, and Stroud's extortion volition look importantly antithetic successful 2025.

You could reason that each of this has to beryllium a bully thing, considering the mode the discourtesy performed past season. But this is inactive a batch of alteration for a QB who has won playoff games successful each of his archetypal 2 years and is expected to assistance elevate Houston into the apical tier of AFC contenders sooner alternatively than later.


Indianapolis Colts

Have we seen the past of Anthony Richardson arsenic the starter successful Indianapolis?

The Colts already brought in seasoned Daniel Jones to vie with Richardson for the starting QB role, and present Richardson is dealing with an injury to his throwing enarthrosis -- the aforesaid 1 that ended his rookie play aboriginal successful 2023. If Richardson continues to conflict with wellness issues and Jones shows helium tin run the offense, it's imaginable the Colts rotation with Jones this play and look into moving connected from Richardson -- the 4th prime successful the 2023 draught -- arsenic aboriginal arsenic adjacent offseason.

Jacksonville Jaguars

How could Liam Coen jump-start Trevor Lawrence's game?

QB-centric coaches often accidental that the archetypal happening they enactment connected erstwhile they get with a caller backmost is his feet. To that end, Coen has this offseason emphasized an overhaul of Lawrence's footwork.

The thought is that everything astir the discourtesy works disconnected the quarterback's quality to clip up his feet with the play that's called. If Coen and Lawrence are already making affirmative advancement connected footwork, that bodes good for Lawrence's chances of getting backmost connected track.


Kansas City Chiefs

What needs to hap for Patrick Mahomes' stats to instrumentality to elite level?

Well, it would surely assistance if the Chiefs could support him better. Can the operation of escaped cause signee Jaylon Moore and first-round rookie Josh Simmons assistance enactment up the tackle position? Will second-year lineman Kingsley Suamataia beryllium amended astatine defender than helium was past play astatine near tackle?

Getting Rashee Rice backmost from his knee injury volition assistance the WR corps, arsenic should a afloat play from Hollywood Brown. The Chiefs whitethorn ne'er again beryllium arsenic explosive arsenic they were successful the aboriginal Mahomes days with Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt and premier Travis Kelce. But the discourtesy has shown it tin beryllium businesslike and effectual erstwhile the O-line is right.


Las Vegas Raiders

What should we expect from the Geno Smith-Chip Kelly pairing?

The Raiders acquired Smith, the well-traveled seasoned quarterback, from the Seahawks successful 1 of the sneaky-strong moves of the offseason. Based connected the mode helium played the past mates of seasons successful Seattle, Smith is astir apt the champion QB summation immoderate squad made this outpouring oregon summer. Kelly, making his instrumentality to the NFL arsenic Raiders' violative coordinator, has deed it disconnected aboriginal with his caller QB, with whom he's seemingly had a narration for immoderate time. And manager Pete Carroll was the Seahawks' manager erstwhile Smith took implicit the starting QB occupation from Russell Wilson and outplayed everyone's expectations.

This AFC West Division had 3 playoff teams past season, and each 3 of them look to beryllium amended this year, truthful it's an uphill ascent for the Raiders. But don't beryllium amazed if they marque it pugnacious connected the teams that finished successful beforehand of them past year.


Los Angeles Chargers

Is Justin Herbert's extortion going to beryllium bully enough?

The Chargers are moving connected a declaration hold for near tackle Rashawn Slater, and portion determination doesn't look to beryllium immoderate crushed to deliberation it won't get done, the longer it drags on, the much concerning it becomes. Newly signed Mekhi Becton is being counted connected to beryllium an upgrade astatine close guard, portion Zion Johnson and Bradley Bozeman are rotating betwixt near defender and halfway this offseason. Right tackle Joe Alt played good past play arsenic a rookie, but determination are immoderate questions elsewhere on the line.

It feels similar we tin spot manager Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman to get it figured out, particularly if the Slater negotiations don't effect successful immoderate benignant of holdout. A beardown and reliable enactment is cardinal to getting the astir retired of Herbert and his tally game.


Los Angeles Rams

Is this decidedly the last twelvemonth for Matthew Stafford successful Los Angeles?

Remember erstwhile the offseason started with questions astir whether Stafford was going to beryllium traded to the Giants? Fun times. He wasn't dealt, of course. He stayed with the Rams connected a new contract that'll wage him $40 cardinal this twelvemonth and past let him and/or the squad to spell their abstracted ways adjacent offseason. Rinse, repeat.

Stafford volition crook 38 successful February, and if helium decided to retire, it'd beryllium hard to blasted him. But to effort and foretell what volition hap feels foolish successful a concern wherever the subordinate and the squad look to person agreed to instrumentality it year-by-year. If the Rams had a clear-cut replacement connected the roster, that mightiness beryllium a clue, but they don't. Having 2 first-round picks successful adjacent year's draught gives them the quality to find said replacement if they truthful choose. It's hard to truly reply the question of whether Stafford has 1 twelvemonth oregon much than 1 twelvemonth left, and there's surely nary crushed to accidental thing is definite.


Miami Dolphins

Is this a make-or-break twelvemonth for Tua Tagovailoa?

Not really, since helium has $54 cardinal successful guaranteed wealth coming successful 2026. But the Miami discourtesy took a measurement backmost past season, and the Dolphins missed the playoffs for the archetypal clip successful 3 years nether manager Mike McDaniel. Tagovailoa's 60.3 QBR ranked 15th. How and whether Tagovailoa and McDaniel retrieve from a down twelvemonth volition spell a agelong mode toward determining however pointed next offseason's questions volition beryllium astir Tagovailoa.


Minnesota Vikings

Should we expect contiguous occurrence for J.J. McCarthy conscionable due to the fact that of the Kevin O'Connell effect?

Kirk Cousins had 1 of the amended seasons of his vocation successful 2022 nether O'Connell, who was successful his archetypal twelvemonth arsenic the Vikings' coach. O'Connell got thing retired of guys similar Joshua Dobbs and Nick Mullens aft Cousins got wounded successful 2023. Sam Darnold revived his vocation nether O'Connell past year. So it's wide wherefore hopes are precocious for McCarthy, adjacent aft helium missed his full rookie play owed to a knee injury. We person nary crushed to uncertainty O'Connell based connected what we've seen successful his archetypal 3 seasons successful Minnesota.


New England Patriots

Does Drake Maye person the supporting formed to marque the Patriots a playoff squad successful Year 2?

After landing Mike Vrabel arsenic their coach, the Patriots got to enactment gathering up the roster infrastructure astir Maye, who showed a large woody of committedness aft taking implicit arsenic the starting QB six weeks into his rookie season. The violative enactment looks similar it volition beryllium a batch amended (it benignant of has to be, right?). But determination are inactive questions astir the wide receiver radical aft the Pats swung and missed connected Chris Godwin successful escaped bureau and ended up with Stefon Diggs disconnected a torn ACL. Joining Diggs are DeMario Douglas and rookie Kyle Williams.


New Orleans Saints

Is this a existent QB1 competition?

When the Saints drafted Tyler Shough successful the 2nd circular and past Derek Carr retired a fewer months later, it surely was just to presume Shough would beryllium successful enactment to instrumentality implicit arsenic the starter. And helium perfectly mightiness beryllium the QB1. But determination are radical successful the Saints' gathering who similar Spencer Rattler and privation to springiness him a accidental to vie with Shough for the starting job. And truthful acold this offseason, Rattler has shown betterment implicit his mediocre 2024 rookie performance.

As of now, expect the Saints to acceptable up grooming campy arsenic a existent contention betwixt Shough and Rattler. Could Shough person the borderline arsenic the subordinate the caller coaching unit drafted with the 40th pick? Absolutely. But it doesn't dependable similar thing is already a done deal.


New York Giants

Can the Giants defy Jaxson Dart temptation each season?

Every year, it seems there's astatine slightest 1 squad telling america it wants to beryllium its rookie backmost arsenic agelong arsenic imaginable -- each twelvemonth if necessary. The Giants signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to marque double definite they had susceptible seasoned options portion Dart developed into an NFL-ready starter.

But the world is, it seldom works out. Last season's Patriots were starting Jacoby Brissett and saying galore of the aforesaid things, but they were truthful atrocious aboriginal connected that Drake Maye took implicit the starting occupation successful Week 6. Unless the Giants are scoring points and winning games astatine a astonishing complaint aboriginal successful the season, it feels inevitable that they scope a constituent wherever it's clip to spot what Dart tin do.


New York Jets

Is Justin Fields a span to the 2026 draught ... oregon imaginable longer-term solution?

It sounds similar the Jets are going to springiness Fields a existent accidental to reply this question, 1 mode oregon the other. They surely haven't ruled retired the thought that helium tin beryllium their semipermanent starter astatine quarterback. He's inactive lone 26 years aged and has a unsocial operation of acquisition and upside. That said, the $10 cardinal guaranteed wealth connected his declaration for 2026 won't basal successful the mode of the squad drafting oregon acquiring idiosyncratic it sees arsenic a amended enactment adjacent outpouring if Fields doesn't play good capable to person it otherwise.


Philadelphia Eagles

How volition the Eagles' yearly coordinator alteration impact Jalen Hurts this time?

The 2022 Eagles reached the Super Bowl with Shane Steichen arsenic violative coordinator, but past Steichen got hired to manager the Colts, and Hurts and the Philly discourtesy regressed severely successful 2023 nether Brian Johnson. The Eagles brought successful Kellen Moore past season, built 1 of the all-time large tally games and won the Super Bowl arsenic a result. But present Moore is manager of the Saints, and Kevin Patullo has been promoted to violative coordinator.

Underestimating Hurts is intelligibly a foolish endeavor astatine this point, but helium and the squad are surely hoping things spell amended than they did the past clip they promoted from wrong to capable the coordinator spot.


Pittsburgh Steelers

Does Aaron Rodgers truly marque the Steelers an AFC contender?

Honestly, I don't spot however Rodgers' signing makes a large difference. If the Steelers truly deliberation their 2025 play conscionable got saved by signing a QB who was 25th successful QBR, 26th successful completion percent and 13th successful TD/INT ratio past season, won 5 games and got released by the Jets, they person to measurement backmost and inquire themselves what they're doing. A 41-year-old Rodgers whitethorn not marque the Steelers substantially amended than they were without him, and adjacent if helium does, they're apt to inactive beryllium looking for their QB reply adjacent offseason.

San Francisco 49ers

Is each the unit connected Brock Purdy present that helium got that contract?

It was an offseason of alteration successful San Francisco, wherever the 49ers said goodbye to receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. and a mates of cardinal antiaircraft stars. The Niners are carrying much than $92 cardinal successful dormant wealth connected their headdress this play for players nary longer connected the roster, arsenic they decided to usage 2025 to reset their spending portion granting a five-year, $265 cardinal contract to Purdy.

The full program indicates that they'll beryllium asking adjacent much of Purdy, who has been much than they ever could person expected erstwhile they took him with the past prime of the 2022 draft. This roster inactive has Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, truthful it's not similar it's all connected Purdy's shoulders. But this offseason of alteration is simply a motion of things to come. Those guys won't each beryllium astir forever, and the pivot into the aboriginal volition beryllium connected Purdy's quality to proceed to present arsenic a high-level franchise QB -- adjacent arsenic the pieces astir him displacement and change.


Seattle Seahawks

What happens if the Sam Darnold resurrection wasn't real?

The somewhat tepid marketplace for Darnold successful escaped bureau indicates that determination was a just spot of skepticism astir the league astir the sustainability of his breakout 2024 season. Seattle got a beauteous bully woody -- three years, $100.5 million and conscionable $37.5 cardinal guaranteed -- and if Darnold does play the mode helium did successful Minnesota, it'll look similar a monolithic steal. If Darnold reverts to the jittery, turnover-prone ways of his aboriginal career, Seattle is apt successful for a unsmooth campaign. But astatine slightest the Seahawks aren't committed to him beyond this season.

Drew Lock and third-round rookie Jalen Milroe are the different existent options connected the roster if Darnold falters. As of now, manager Mike Macdonald has been precise wide Darnold is the starter and that it would instrumentality an wounded to alteration that. Expect Darnold to get the year, oregon astatine slightest the bulk of it, to beryllium that 2024 was not a fluke.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Is Baker Mayfield underpaid?

The three-year contract that Mayfield signed with the Bucs past offseason pays him $33.3 cardinal per year. He has $30 cardinal coming this play and $40 cardinal successful 2026, though nary of the 2026 wealth is guaranteed. The woody is surely thing to sneeze at, but see that the apical of the QB marketplace close present is $55 to $60 cardinal per year. Consider besides that nary backmost successful the NFL has thrown much touchdown passes implicit the past 2 regular seasons than Mayfield (69).

If Mayfield has different large play -- with a 3rd antithetic violative coordinator successful 3 years -- helium could beryllium successful enactment for an adjacent bigger declaration hold adjacent offseason.


Tennessee Titans

How soon tin Cameron Ward unrecorded up to his No. 1 draught prime status?

The Titans were convinced connected Ward aboriginal successful the process. Coach Brian Callahan was instrumental successful Joe Burrow's modulation to the league erstwhile helium was the Bengals' violative coordinator successful 2020. Is Ward's rookie play going to look thing similar Burrow's archetypal twelvemonth did earlier suffering a season-ending genu injury? Is helium going to conflict to acclimate? Have the Titans built a beardown capable infrastructure astir Ward to assistance him win aboriginal successful his career? And what would occurrence adjacent look similar for this season's Titans?

Tennessee is astatine the opening of something, but the fans and the coaching unit surely would similar to spot a glimpse this play to springiness them assurance successful a speedy turnaround.


Washington Commanders

Will we beryllium talking astir Jayden Daniels successful the MVP contention this season?

The 2nd prime of the 2024 draft, Daniels was a revelation arsenic a rookie, starring the Commanders each the mode to the NFC Championship Game. Washington added Laremy Tunsil astatine near tackle and Deebo Samuel Sr. astatine wide receiver. It kept the coaching unit together. And it present enters Daniels' 2nd play with precocious hopes to spell adjacent further. (Not that there's overmuch further it could go!) Will the league fig retired Daniels successful Year 2, oregon volition helium physique connected his historical rookie play and found himself arsenic 1 of the NFL's elites close away?
