2019 NFL All-Rookie Team: The Faces of the Future

Quinnen Williams, DT, New York Jets

After dealing with injuries to start his rookie season, Quinnen Williams has created 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks through 10 games. The Alabama product has made his impact on a still struggling defense.

Williams is not expected to produce sacks and pressures but is focused on occupying blockers and being a dominant force inside. As long as Williams can continue to be the same force inside he has been, the Jets will have another franchise NFL defensive tackle on their hands.

Ed Oliver, DT, Buffalo Bills

Through 12 games, the dynamic Buffalo Bills defensive lineman has collected five sacks and 16 tackles.

Ed Oliver provides a unique mix of speed and pass-rushing to the Buffalo interior and has shown his value on a top defense. Interior pressure kills quarterbacks by taking their space to step-up in the pocket, and that is what Oliver thrives on. Complemented by a complete defense, Oliver can be an X-Factor in the upcoming postseason.

Josh Allen, EDGE, Jacksonville Jaguars

After falling through the draft, outside linebacker Josh Allen has become a leading pass-rusher in Jacksonville. Through 12 games, Allen has collected nine sacks, 25 tackles, and 2 forced fumbles.

Allen is a speedy, dynamic edge-rusher who was a surprising faller in the 2019 NFL draft. NFL teams normally throw themselves at the chance for a franchise pass-rusher, and Jacksonville had one fall into their laps.

Nick Bosa, EDGE, San Francisco 49ers

On the most talented defensive line in the NFL, Nick Bosa as still collected 8 sacks and 24 tackles through 12 games.

Surrounded by three other first-round defensive lineman play after play, Bosa has followed in his brother’s footsteps in becoming a franchise pass-rusher. A more conventional 4-3 defensive end, Bosa uses superior technique and decent athleticism to find his way to the quarterback. Already in his rookie year, Bosa is now a cornerstone piece on a top NFL defense.
