Rookie Fan Favorites

Which rookies will be fan favorites? Let's take Darnold out of the mix.

Nate Sheppard - I think fans will relate to this kid's story and will root hard for him to succeed.

Chris Herndon - It seems last year's excitement over Jordan Leggett has completely been overtaken by Herndon. Not much talk about Leggett anymore. Both are trying to overcome injuries and I have a feeling Bowles won't use either as much as he should.

Parry Nickerson - Nickerson has the chance of being an almost instant fan favorite. I think Mac was very pleasantly surprised that he got him in the 6th round. Fans will love his ability and willingness to tackle and will dream of him overtaking Skrine by year-end.

Folorunso Fatukasi - I think fans will look at Sheppard and Fatukasi as the poor mans version of Adams/Maye. Their enthusiasm will be noticed in the stands. "Tackle by Sheppard and Fatukasi" announcements will be music to our ears.

Trenton Cannon - Just return kicks and we'll love you!

Trey Flowers - Did Mac hit another UDFA home run in Flowers? We sure hope so. With only Thomas to beat out he could make the team and see the field.

I think Nate Sheppard could be a great story. His journey to the NFL is quite an example of perseverance. He’s got the body and skill set to be a good player in this league. It might take some time though. Small school dominance is a far cry from NFL success.

But this is the guy I’m rooting for. Other than Darnold, of course.

To be honest I checked out after the Darnold pick. I've wanted him for almost two years and was crazy happy he was there and the Jets didn't fuck it up like they always do. My whole season interest revolves around him and he will be my favorite. The rest of the rookies will be back-ups and I will never hear their names probably.

Chris Herndon - I have a feeling Bowles won't use ... as much as he should.

That's SOP for Bowles. How many times have we talked about how he never played Powell as much as he should have?
