As every one knows the offense of the Baltimore Hawks is much improved this year. Star QB Avon Blocksdale is playing well and Trey Willie is a monster as per usual. Alexandre LeClair as been added to the team and he has been superb (and is in the running for breakout player of the year). But the addition we're talking about today is the HANDS DOWN offensive rookie for the year John Wacther. Wachter has been incredible for the Hawks. The reliable slot receiver / Tight End has 62 catches on the year (first among rookies) 652 receiving yards (first among rookies) and 6 receiving Touchdowns (first among rookies). He should have gone first overall but the Colorado Yeti chose Carlito Crush instead. John Wachter is leading rookies in yards from scrimmage and total touchowns. There really is no comparison to him on the field. The receiver was the DSFL MVP and player of the year last year playing for the Portland Pythons. Rookies have trouble making an impact in the NSFL right away, but that is not true for Wachter as he has easily picked up where he left off for the Hawks as he did when he was a Python. I don't know if he'll make the Pro Bowl, but he'll easily win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
