The Brandt Report
2015 All-Rookie Team
The 2015 rookie class might not have featured an overwhelming talent surge at any one position, à la the collection of rookie receivers who dominated 2014, but plenty of standout players entered the NFL this season.
When compiling my 2015 All-Rookie Team, for example, I did have to make tough calls at running back, with David Johnson of the Cardinals squeezed out by an undrafted free agent, and cornerback, with Kevin Johnson of the Texans and Byron Jones of the Cowboys not making the cut despite strong debuts. Notably, this year's group included four undrafted players, while just one -- kicker Chandler Catanzaro -- landed on last year's squad.
