With the NFL kicking off its newest season last month, the rookies have had some time to prove their talents and see if they can keep their spots in the league. Of the new rookies in the league, there have been two rookies who have stood out from the lineup: Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo have both been nominated to receive the Pepsi Zero Rookie of the Week Award multiple times since their debut. For the New York Giants, this is the fifth week in a row that a rookie on the team has been nominated to receive the award. Jason Dart has been elected each week since he took over as the starting quarterback, while Cam Skattebo was nominated in the second and third weeks.
Both players have gained great recognition after they participated in the defeat of the Eagles, the previous Super Bowl champions. Their performances were exceptional for rookies, each outperforming long-standing records in their opening weeks.
Jaxson and Cam are set to become some of the best players in the league if they can keep their momentum going. Additionally, these two stand-out rookies are on the same team, allowing them to work together to improve each other’s records. This has led to some minor disagreements when it comes to awards.
For the Pepsi Zero Rookie of the Week Award, only one player can take the award each week, leaving fans divided on who to vote for when both are nominated. While this is an issue, it is not exactly a bad issue to have. It serves as proof that the Giants’ chances this year are high, and they may even take the Super Bowl victory this season.
