 Here are the top rookie performances of NFL Week 3

The excitement of NFL games is undeniable, and as we journey into Week 3, we have seen some outstanding NFL rookies who have begun to form their footprint in the league.

These young athletes have been exceptional, showing prowess and potential that sets them apart.

The third week of the NFL was a revelation of some top-notch rookies who have shown immense potential. With their exceptional skills and groundbreaking performances, these rookies have become the town’s talk. And why not? They have proven that they are not just any other newcomers but the ones who are here to make a mark. Let’s dive into the performances of these promising NFL rookies who have emerged as the ‘Rookie of the Week’ for Week 3.

Top Rookie Quarterback: C.J. Stroud (Texans)- 2nd win in 2023

The promising rookie who made a remarkable mark at QB in Week 3 was undoubtedly CJ Stroud, the quarterback for the Houston Texans. Stroud’s performance in Week 3 was nothing short of impressive. His ability to make accurate throws and excellent decision-making skills have made him a player to watch out for.

Stroud is poised to become the premier QB of the AFC South, usurping the titles from the price of the Jaguar’s Trevor Lawrence. Stroud may have finally ousted Lawrence for good in their week three match-up.

Stroud came out firing in the showdown against the Jaguars, dealing them a blow they may never, as a franchise, recover from. Stroud and the Texans opened up the AFC South with that upset win, and it is now anyone’s division.

In Week 3, Stroud again showcased his ability to lead the team and make big plays. He outgunned Lawrence by completing 20 of 30 passes for 280 yards and 2 TDs, besting him by one yard and a TD. Stroud’s poise, confidence, and skills have made him a standout among the NFL rookie QBs for the second time in as many weeks.
