Tyler Smith Rookie of the Year?

[Jkyle]

Could Smith be the top candidate for Offensive ROY?
I don't see any other Draft pick having as much impact as he is.
That would be something if he were to win given the skepticism of the pick by the Cowboys.

Dang man, tap the brakes a little.

 

[Denim Chicken]

considering a OL has never won it it's doubtful.

 

[Haimerej]

Probably not.

 

[glimmerman]

Let’s see what happens.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I think Drake London is the guy.

This is an award that's literally never been given to an OL, I believe.

Would absolutely love to see an olineman win the award, but some rookie skill player will go on a hot streak and take it.

The fat guys never get awards like that, only the flashy players get looked at for that award.

Chris Olave is the betting fav

 

[NeathBlue]

Not a realistic chance … but he’s going to make the all-rookie team if he continues his great play.

Chris Olave was just named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month so I would think he leads the race. I'm not sure they would ever give the award to an offensive lineman. They have been handing out the award since 1967 and an offensive lineman has never won it. It has always been a RB, WR, or QB win the award.

The last time I saw a dominate LT play from a rookie was Jake Long back in 2008. And back then he had to compete with Flacco, Ryan and Forte.

It's a hard award for a Olineman to win. While the QB's haven't been on fire recently as rookies, the skill from WR/RB's at the position create a lot of hype.

Tyler Smith will need some type of Larry Allen domination on a prime time game, and John Madden to come back and hype the hell out of him during the game.

 

[OmerV]

MUCH too early ...

Bingo! The award has been given to 35 RBs, 10 WRs, and 10 QBs since 1967.

 

[mattjames2010]

Not a chance - there have already been some good performances by rookies at flash positions for Smith to be considered. Not saying it's right, but just the way the NFL is.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Drake London or Garrett Wilson

Garrett Wilson could give him a run.

 

[OGCowboy]

No OLs have won?
Fat shaming at its worst.....

 

[reddyuta]

Olinemen rarely win this award.

 

[Jkyle]

Olave is the likely winner but he is on the Jets and their bad QB play may hinder him. I just haven't heard much about any Rookies so far but the season is young. It's just that Left Tackle is a premier position and Smith will get a lot of exposure playing for the Cowboys. To step into that position as a not High 1st round pick and play well is a big deal.
