Rookie of the Year – Greg Rousseau

The race for the Rookie of the Year award at this point is really down to two players with defensive end Greg Rousseau and right tackle Spencer Brown the only two rookies seeing consistent snaps. While Brown has played well and could end up winning it by the end of the year, at this point Rousseau would need to be the winner.

The Bills drafted Rousseau in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft and he was viewed as a player with great physical traits but could need some time to develop. However, that hasn’t been the case and Rousseau earned the starting job before the regular season.

He has started all nine games and has 26 total tackles, five tackles for a loss, six QB hits, three sacks, and one interception against the Kansas City Chiefs.
