To put a unique spin on this assignment, rather than a broad full league look, I want to look at the midseason all-rookie offense; some positions are more sparse than others here, but there are enough players to field a full, viable roster.
QB: Dustin Parmalee
- This season's lone rookie signal caller, Parmalee was the obvious and only choice for this spot. Parmalee has struggled a bit in his debut season, throwing nine interceptions en route to the fourth worst passer rating across the league. However, the rookie has maintained his composure, and shows promise for the future, as he has managed to linger in the top half of the league in completion percentage, and does have two thousand yards on the season.
RB: Mason Malone
- Again, Malone is the lone rookie at his position, and thus the only choice for this slot; however, even running behind tenured starter Jamar Lackson in an offense centered around Panda McKyle's arm, there are signs of life from this rookie, and reason to be hopeful for a bright future. Lackson may pace the team in touches, yards, and touchdowns, but Malone boasts better yards per carry, and has easily moved ahead of Jameson Vermillion on the depth chart.
WR: Nick Kaepercolin, Jr.
- Unsurprisingly, the league's top quarterback, Dexter Zaylren, has the weapons to back his arm; one of those weapons is Kaepercolin. The rookie has been absolutely sensational, with seventeen yards per catch, and is on pace to pass a thousand yards on the season.
WR: Jaycee Higgins - San Jose has a ton of young talent on offense, and Higgins may be the highlight of the group. Despite running alongside Joshua Campbell, Higgins paces both the Sabercats and rookie wide receivers in touchdown receptions, with seven to his name thus far. If Higgins can add to his volume, he may make a case for offensive rookie of the year this season.
WR: Bernd D. Brot - His quarterback already mentioned, Brot felt like a must for this list, providing stability on an uncertain roster. Although Brot is a third option for the Wraiths, his growth alongside Parmalee will be a comforting security blanket as their careers continue, and his presence on the all-rookie offense will be a major comfort for Parmalee.
TE: Deshawn Penne - Rookie tight ends have been a bit quiet this season, but Penne has paced the bunch in all the statistical categories that matter: receiving yardage, yards per catch, touchdowns, and pancakes. You can expect much of the same from Penne as the season continues, knowing the way the Sabercats play the game.
LT: Beniri T'Chawama
- T'Chawama ranks just third among rookies in pancakes, but has been assigned to left tackle here because of his relative athleticism and sack prevention skills. His work shows him to be the ideal fit to protect Parmalee's blindside.
LG: Michael Carimi
- Carimi ranks fifth among rookies in pancakes, and may need some support from T'Chawama to prevent sacks, but ultimately he belongs on this list, and his relative size and skillset suggest he will fit the role of pulling guard.
C: Zoltan
- Zoltan is just shy of the rookie lead for pancakes, but more importantly, he has not yet allowed a sack. He's a bit heavier and less mobile than some of his peers, but that coupled with his leadership make him an ideal fit for the center position.
RG: Tay Swizzle - Swizzle, similar in size to Zoltan, fits best on the interior of the line, and given a pancake total fourth best among rookies and no sacks allowed, right guard alongside a player with a higher pancake total but a larger sack allowance risk makes a ton of sense.
RT: Marquees Acho, Jr. - Acho paces rookies in pancakes, with almost forty on the season; however, unlike most of this line, he has a sack to his name. Support from Swizzle will help, but that extra risk makes him a better fit for the run blocking tackle position, so here he will sit.
