Week 11 of the 2025 National Football League regular season is now complete. Here are the top five rookies on winning teams.
5) Ryan Fitzgerald
The Carolina Panthers rookie kicker from Coolidge, Georgia made three field goals and one convert in a 3o-27 Panthers upset win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The upset was successfully predicted by yours truly. The field goals were for 28, 29, and 34 yards. The 28-yard-field goal was the game-winner with five minutes and 10 seconds left in overtime that broke a 27-27 deadlock.
4) Tyler Loop
To keep with the kicker theme, it was also a strong game for Ravens kicker Tyler Loop of Lucas, Texas. Loop made three field goals and two converts in a 23-16 Ravens win over the Cleveland Browns. He kicked field goals of 24, 25 and 44 yards. As long as Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is healthy, the Ravens offense will be stronger and give Loop more field goal opportunities.
3) Bhayshul Tuten
The running back from Paulsboro, New Jersey had 15 rushes for 74 receiving yards and one touchdown catch in a 35-6 Jaguars win over the Los Angeles Chargers. This was a stunning upset as the Jaguars were a three point underdog, but easily won by 29 points.
2) Tetairoa McMillan
Also in the Panthers win over the Falcons, it was a strong game for wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan of Waimanalo, Hawaii. McMillan had eight catches for 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns. McMillan’s touchdowns were for seven and 12 yards, both from quarterback Bryce Young. Interestingly, McMillan has only four touchdowns this season and the other two came in a 30-27 Panthers win over the Dallas Cowboys in week six.
1) TreVeyon Henderson
The Patriots rookie running back from Hopewell, Virginia is a major reason why the New England Patriots are 9-2. On Thursday, he had 19 rushes for 62 rushing yards and five catches for 31 receiving yards in a 27-14 New England Patriots win over the New York Jets.
