I’m going to talk about the frontrunners for the most prestigious (albeit unrecognized by the shameful FO) DSFL award each season. I am, of course, referencing The ROOKIE Tight End of the Year Award. This award is for the best TE of the DSFL for that year for the new prospects. Let’s take a look at the 3 front runners so far.
Dave Batista – Batista is the easy front runner here, where he is top or near the top in almost every category. He has the 2nd highest yardage at 162 with 23 receptions (7.0 AVG, long of 18), showing he has good hands and is a key part of his offense. He's no slouch in the blocking game either, and has put up a strong 13 pancakes while allowing zero sacks.
Djibutee McJimmerson – Self-Bias incoming. McJimmerson has had a good enough start to make him noteworthy for this award’s shortlist, with particular emphasis on his strong blocking game. He’s the leader for rookie TE’s in pancakes with 16, and has allowed zero sacks as well. While he is not the most targeted TE with only 11 receptions, he has shown good hands en route to a 7.3 yd per reception (2nd for rookie TEs) and 2 touchdowns in the redzone.
Cmon Skiuuup – Skiuuup has been a monster in the passing game, and is easily the leader for rookie TEs there. He’s showcased his abilities with 23 receptions for 169 yards (7.3 AVG, best for the seasons so far) and a long of 19, though somehow not having a TD yet (I think we can expect to see that go up before seasons end). He’s not as active in the blocking game with only 6 pancakes, but that may be down to offensive scheme more than anything, and hasn’t allowed a sack which is good.
