Defensive tackles successful Rookie of the Yr shouldn’t be overly widespread however we’ve got pretty latest precedent! Ndamukong Suh (2010), Sheldon Richardson (2013), and Aaron Donald (2014) all gained this award in a five-year span. Jalen Carter didn’t win the award final season however he was on the runner-up to Will Anderson. Philadelphia having a horrible protection clearly signifies the standard of the protection didn’t closely harm Carter’s possibilities of successful.
In fact, Murphy II should keep wholesome, put within the work, and have the standout performances to have a shot at fulfilling his objective of successful DROY. From there, it’s all as much as the Related Press voters. Historical past has not been form to Seahawks gamers on that entrance.
