This seasons rookie class has been stacked, and the rookie of the year award candidates have performed like superstars. However, the award can only go to one player, and I believe that player is Dallas Birddogs wide receiver Chunt the Badger. In their first year in the league, Chunt has gone on a rampage, putting up superstar numbers. As the Birddogs number one receiver, Chunt has put up an insane 48 receptions for 660 yards and 4 touchdowns, impressive even for a non-rookie receiver. Chunt currently ranks at least top 5 in all of these categories, but is number 1 in all of these stats among all rookies, further solidifying their case as the rookie of the year. No other rookie receiver has gotten close to Chunt's dominance, solidifying their already solid case as the best rookie receiver this year. Chunt's talent has transformed Dallas into a powerhouse, with the Birddogs going 6-1 as the leagues #1 team. Chunt has also shown their talent on special teams, leading all rookies in both kick return and punt return yards, with 319 and 152 respectively. Chunt also holds the season record for longest punt return and most receiving touchdowns in a single game, with a 44 yard return and a 2 touchdown performance versus the Luchadores in week 1.
