(S27) PT3 - We're halfway there

[Modern_Duke]

As a player for the London Royals, I want to focus on the potential award winners and nominees among my teammates. At quarterback, Red Arrow Jr. was briefly third in quarterback rating and possibly in line for an offensive rookie of the year nomination, but has struggled in recent games and may be out of the picture. Running back Manhattan Project is fifth in rushing yards and second in yards per carry, but his lack of touchdowns may keep him off the ballot as well. The wide receivers don't appear to have the numbers to earn a nomination, unless Tsuyu Asui's gets enough touchdowns to impress the committee.

On defense, we finally see some contenders, with defensive end Glenn Smart putting together a nice combination of tackles for loss and sacks, which should certainly put him in line for defensive rookie of the year, if not defensive end of the year. Neither defensive tackles Marlon Brando or Fergus Callaghan Jr. have great numbers, but competition at defensive tackle shouldn't be too strong. The Royals linebackers have been tackling machines, with Logan Sarrasin and Duke Cheeks first and third respectively. Of the two, Cheeks has the best chance for an award due to the edge in sacks and passes defended. Cornerback CJ Sonjack has a decent amount of passes defended, but likely needs a couple more interceptions to get an award.
