NFL Rookie Rankings: DBs, Houston Texans Excel In Week One

21. Jordan Davis, Eagles

Jordan Davis made the most of his week one snaps, freeing up linebackers to make plays in the run game and eating up double teams. He’s tough to move off his spot, and proved a difficult task for even Frank Ragnow for a couple reps.

22. Evan Neal, Giants

Evan Neal played a strong game in pass pro for the Giants, showing off his nimble footwork and improved balance. As he traverses through a tough schedule of rushers, it’ll be interesting to note his progress.

24. Braxton Jones, Bears

A day three pick from Southern Utah, Braxton Jones impressed with his quick feet and play strength in one of the tougher draws in an opener of which you can ask. Throwing him in the fire is a good call for a team that’s rebuilding.

25. Ed Ingram, Vikings

It was a tale of two phases for Ed Ingram, but his performance as a people-mover in the run game earns him the final spot on the rankings.
