Top 5 Defensive Rookie of the Year Canidates

Hi, today I decided to make a post about 5 rookies who I think have a great chance of winning defensive rookie of the year. First here is some news that Cardinals coach Bruce Arians left the hospital today and was fine. Here is the list:

5. Darron Lee, LB, Jets:
Lee was a beast in college. He was fast, scary, and great at sacking. Add him to the Jets stacked defensive line and he should be even better. Lee was already a beast in his first pre-season game and he has a great shot at DROY. Last year in college Lee had 36 solo tackles! Thats a lot for a player who had to share the spotlight with defensive star Joey Bosa. Lee will be a big help on the Jets.

4. Keanu Neal, S, Falcons:
I love the way Neal plays and combined with the Falcons need of safety he will be a big star from day 1. Neal had more solo tackles than Darron Lee with 51, thats pretty good and the Falcons are in need of a great player who can totally dominate QB's. Neal can do this in multiple ways with tackles, sacks, and interceptions. Neal can do it all which gives him a great shot a DROY.

3. Joey Bosa, DE, Chargers:
I like Joey Bosa, but Bosa on the Chargers won't be as good than him on a different team. Bosa has a super high ceiling which is great for the Chargers. Bosa will be a quarterbacks nightmare this year and he can finally add talent to the line. Him and Brandon Mebane will be great on the line together. If Bosa can find a way to sign a contract with the Chargers, he will have a great shot at DROY.

2. DeForest Buckner, DE, 49ers:
Buckner is a beast. Even though I think Bosa is better, Buckner is a better fit with his team. He was great last year on Oregon State and with former Oregon Coach Chip Kelly the 49ers new head coach, Buckner will be used to the play style which will make things easier for his transition. It will be hard for him not to shine on a crappy D-line only with NaVorro Bowman the only other great player. His chances are super high.

1. Jalen Ramsey, CB, Jaguars:
Ramsey is a sure-shot at winning DROY. He will be this years Marcus Peters, he is already the number 1 corner on the roster and he is a great player. Ramsey was the best defensive player in the draft and most likely THE best player in the draft. Him not winning DROY would be like Michael Phelps not winning a gold in the olympics, surprising and disappointing. He is almost sure to be the winner.

Thanks for reading and tomorrow I will have an Offensive Rookie of the Year post!
