2014 All-Rookie Team
The 2014 rookie class included some good players and solid depth, but it really stood out for one reason: the receivers.
Odell Beckham Jr. and Mike Evans headlined a stellar crop of young pass-catchers that ranks among the best I can remember. So when I put together this year's All-Rookie Team, I decided to expand the roster on offense to include three receivers, as you'll see below.
Even if this bunch of rookies didn't include many stars beyond the pass-catchers, there are plenty of promising pros out there, guys who will be starters for 10-plus years. Without further ado, here is my All-Rookie Team for 2014:
