Rookie Surge Shines in Preseason | NFL News

Ty Simpson shredded the preseason debut with 78% completion, 390 yards, and 3 TDs—zero turnovers—showing flashes of elite potential despite being behind Matthew Stafford. Meanwhile, rookies like Joe Fagnano (500+ yards), Mike Washington Jr. (8 YPC), and Jalen Brooks (200+ rec yards) made bold statements. Undrafted gems like Shiyazh Pete and high-upside players like D’Zhaun Stribling and Rivaldo Fairweather are proving they belong. On defense, Landon & Ty Robinson dominated with sacks, Bryan Thomas Jr. lit up Jacksonville, linebackers Red Murdock and Anthony Hill Jr. flashed brilliance, and DBs Beanie Bishop Jr. and Damar Hamlin each snagged two INTs. These performances aren’t just stats—they’re proof the league’s next wave is ready to roar.
