Top 5 Offensive Rookie of the Year Canidates

Hi, today I am making an offensive rookie of the year post to follow-up my defensive rookie post. Here it is:

5. Derrick Henry, RB, Titans:
Henry won't be the starting running back in Tennessee but the Heisman winning running back will touch the ball a lot. Henry was probably one of the BEST players in all of college football last year winning the Heisman. In the Titans pre-season opener we saw how the Titans would use Henry with DeMarco Murray and he was great. The two will both get a lot of carries and Henry will have a great chance of winning OROY. Henry looks like a great fit in Tennessee.

4. Corey Coleman, WR, Browns:
Everyone is saying Coleman is "the real deal", people are saying that he looks like he will be amazing with the Browns and I totally agree. With finally a pretty good QB (Robert Griffin III) Coleman will have a great chance of getting lots of catches. Coleman looks like an amazing fit and I think he will have great chances at OROY.

3. Laquon Treadwell, WR, Vikings:
Treadwell is SO good. He already has bonded with the coaches and they love the way he fits in the offense. I think Treadwell can already be the starting receiver and even though he was the last receiver taken in the first round I believe he was the best and should have been the first receiver taken. Treadwell has great chances at winning the award and he looks like a great fit in Minnesota.

2. Sterling Shepard, WR, Giants:
Shepard is crazy. He wasn't even a first round pick and he is considered better than most first round receivers. He and Odell Beckham Jr. will be amazing together and since Odell will have the number 1 corners on him all year, Shepard will be open to catch passes. Shepard's chances are huge for winning the award. I'm not sure why Shepard wasn't a first round receiver.

1. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
There is almost no chance Zeke doesn't win this award. He is so good and his amazing talent behind the Cowboys number 1 offensive line will result in great things. Remember when DeMarco Murray won Offensive Player of the Year behind the Cowboys line a few years ago, Zeke probably has better chances of winning the awards then him. I will be VERY surprised if Zeke doesn't take home the award.

Thanks for reading and be sure to watch some of todays pre-season games. One player who just missed the list at number 6 was Rams rookie QB Jared Goff. A long-shot player to win the award maybe at 7 would be O lineman, Dolphins Laremy Tunsil.
