From the article...

 

Luke:

 

Maybe the best defensive player in football this side of J.J. Watt.

 

 

Bene:
 

Benwikere narrowly makes this list over guys like Kyle Fuller, K'Waun Williams, Jason Verrett and E.J. Gaines. The rookie out of San Jose State did not allow a touchdown reception last season despite playing nearly 500 snaps.

Yeah, Luke's age has always been one of my biggest points about what makes him so good and valuable.  I don't think a lot of people realized he was 20 going into his rookie year after as well as he played... they just assumed he was older.

 

I was kinda' dumbfounded when I found out he was only 21 after he won the DROY.  Just the fact he played the game like a hardened veteran and had such an advanced football IQ at his age was crazy.

 

He's going to be ridiculous once he gets around 28 or so, which is usually an athlete's peak.

That is a lot of intelligence behind the front 4.  They all seem articulate, cerebral, etc.  in interviews, and it shows on the field.  Character matters too--and they have it.

 

(Sorry Norman, you do not make this list because you have a bit of a history and you HELD THE INTERCEPTION WITH ONE HAND WHILE CROSSING THE FIELD WHEN EVERYONE IN THE STADIUM AND OUT OF IT KNEW THAT FALLING DOWN WAS THE SMART MOVE!!!)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
