小蓝视频rookie rankings at Q1 of 2022 season: Multiple reps for Jets, Packers, Seahawks, three others

With the 2022 小蓝视频regular season at the quarter mark, former 小蓝视频scout Daniel Jeremiah has reviewed his notes from the first four weeks to rank the top 25 rookies in the league today.

Rank
1
Sauce Gardner
New York Jets · CB

Gardner is already establishing himself as one of the premier players at his position. He has an uncanny knack for locating and playing the ball down the field.

Rank
2
Chris Olave
New Orleans Saints · WR

Olave is such a graceful route runner. He is consistently creating separation at all three levels of the defense. 

Rank
3
Travon Walker
Jacksonville Jaguars · OLB

Walker, the first overall pick of this year's draft, is a dominant run defender and he鈥檚 already showing growth as a pass rusher. 

Rank
4
Devin Lloyd
Jacksonville Jaguars · LB

I saw Lloyd play in person against the Chargers in Week 3 and he was the best player on the field that day (7 tackles, 3 passes defensed, 1 interception). He has remarkable instincts and range. 

Rank
5
Garrett Wilson
New York Jets · WR

Wilson is ultra-twitched up and he鈥檚 already provided a pivotal touchdown catch in a comeback victory for the Jets. He has the look of a true No. 1 wideout. 

Rank
6
Aidan Hutchinson
Detroit Lions · DE

Hutchinson has brought his trademark tenacity and toughness to the Lions. They don鈥檛 have nearly enough talent on defense right now, but he has performed at a very solid level. 

Rank
7
Drake London
Atlanta Falcons · WR

London was sidelined for most of August due to injury, but he hasn鈥檛 missed a beat since being inserted into the lineup. He is an incredibly nimble route runner for his size (6-foot-4, 213 pounds). 

Rank
8
Breece Hall
New York Jets · RB

Hall is quickly emerging as the Jets鈥 main runner (team-high 38 carries for 178 yards) and he鈥檚 provided plenty of value in the passing game, as well (15 catches for 113 yards). He鈥檚 getting better every week, and I get the sense he鈥檚 on the verge of a monster game in the near future.  

Rank
9
Jalen Pitre
Houston Texans · S

Pitre had an unbelievable performance against the Bears in Week 3 (8 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, 1 fumble recovered). He has excellent range in the back end against the pass. Also, he鈥檚 a dynamic blitzer and alley-filler against the run. 

Rank
10
Dameon Pierce
Houston Texans · RB

Pierce is going to end up being one of the steals of the 2022 draft. He is a violent runner with exceptional play speed and balance. 

Rank
11
Jahan Dotson
Washington Commanders · WR

Dotson had the best hands in the draft class, and he鈥檚 picked up right where he left off at Penn State. 

Rank
12
Quay Walker
Green Bay Packers · LB

Walker has been very productive and his size/speed combination jumps off the screen. 

Rank
13
Jack Jones
New England Patriots · CB

Jones lacks ideal size (5-11, 175), but his mix of instincts and ball skills has been impressive. 

Rank
14
Tariq Woolen
Seattle Seahawks · CB

Woolen landed in the perfect place to maximize his talents. Pete Carroll has made a very successful career out of developing tall, rangy cornerbacks. 

Rank
15
Tyler Linderbaum
Baltimore Ravens · C

Linderbaum has been a dependable starter for the Ravens. He plays with excellent quickness and strength in the run game. 

Rank
16
Romeo Doubs
Green Bay Packers · WR

Doubs has quickly emerged as one of Aaron Rodgers鈥 favorite targets (team-high 19 catches). He has the speed to get vertical, but I鈥檝e been pleasantly surprised with his route polish, as well. 

Rank
17
Jaquan Brisker
Chicago Bears · S

Brisker is a very active defender and he鈥檚 always around the ball. I love his toughness in the middle of the field. 

Rank
18
Jermaine Johnson II
New York Jets · DE

Johnson has been very disruptive against both the run and pass. He has earned an increased role in the Jets鈥 defense. 

Rank
19
Zion Johnson
Los Angeles Chargers · OG

Johnson's had a couple hiccups in pass protection, but he can really uproot and drive defenders in the run game. 

Rank
20
Malcolm Rodriguez
Detroit Lions · LB

Rodriguez is very instinctive, and I鈥檝e been impressed with his lateral mobility against the run. 

Rank
21
Kaiir Elam
Buffalo Bills · CB

Elam is a big, physical cornerback and he鈥檚 rarely out of position. He hasn鈥檛 had many opportunities to make plays on the ball, but he鈥檚 getting the job done. 

Rank
22
Tyler Smith
Dallas Cowboys · OT

Smith is still raw, but he鈥檚 flashed elite ability in both the run and pass game. He鈥檚 very quick-footed and he鈥檚 a finisher. 

Rank
23
George Pickens
Pittsburgh Steelers · WR

Pickens, coming off his first career 100-yard game, has produced a couple 鈥渨ow鈥 highlights for the Steelers. He has extraordinary body control down the field. 

Rank
24
Abraham Lucas
Seattle Seahawks · OT

Lucas has been a solid plug-and-play starter at right tackle for the Seahawks. He gives a little ground versus power rushers, but he always stays attached. 

Rank
25
Isiah Pacheco
Kansas City Chiefs · RB

Pacheco has provided some explosiveness to the Chiefs鈥 backfield. He鈥檚 an aggressive runner who takes advantage of the space created by the passing threat Patrick Mahomes poses to defenses.
