Week four of the National Football League is in the books. Here is a list of the top five offensive rookies on winning teams.
5. Christian Watson–Green Bay Packers
The 23-year-old from Phoenix who was the Packers’ second round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, had his first career touchdown on Sunday. But despite being a wide receiver, Watson’s touchdown came on the ground as it was a 15-yard run that put Green Bay on the scoreboard, and gave the Packers a 7-3 lead, en route to a 27-24 overtime win over the New England Patriots. Watson also had an eight yard reception.
4. Romeo Doubs–Green Bay Packers
By trading Davante Adams to the Green Bay Packers, there were questions in Green Bay regarding who reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers would throw the ball to. Well, the Packers’ fourth round pick out of the University of Nevada, has filled in admirably. The 22 year-old from Los Angeles tied the Packers/Patriots score at 24 with six minutes and 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter with a 13 yard touchdown catch from Rodgers. Doubs finished the game with five catches for 47 yards.
3. Chigoziem Okonkwo–Tennessee Titans
The rookie tight end from Powder Springs, Georgia recorded his first career touchdown on Sunday in a 24-17 Tennessee Titans win over the Indianapolis Colts. In the AFC South Division battle, Okonkwo had an eight-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Tannehill with seven minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter, which put the Titans up 24-3. He finished the game with three catches for 38 yards.
