Ranking the top 25 rookies from the 2021 NFL season: Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons leads the way (9. T PENEI SEWELL, DETROIT LIONS:  Sewell had a rough first five weeks in the NFL ranks, but he quickly rallied and became one of the top players at the position in the NFL. His grade from Week 6 on was the ninth-best among all tackles. The seventh overall pick did that while flipping from left tackle to right tackle midway through the year. Sewell was the best tackle prospect PFF has ever evaluated, and he is living up to the hype.  11. WR AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DETROIT LIONS:  St. Brown has gone from fourth-round pick to top-20-graded wide receiver in one year. Over the last six weeks, he even ranks third in PFF grade behind only Cooper Kupp and Davante Adams.  While he might not be beating press-man on the outside, St. Brown has done an excellent job finding soft spots in zone from the slot. He also hasn’t dropped a pass since Week 3 and has caught half of his contested opportunities.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-25-rookie-rankings-2021-micah-parsons-jamarr-chase

Best NFL players at every position in 2021: Highest-graded veterans, rookies and surprises (Biggest surprise: AMON-RA ST. BROWN, LIONS (Regular-season PFF grade: 80.0):  Brown was the second-highest-graded rookie receiver behind Chase and the 17th-graded receiver overall. The fourth-round pick started to pick up steam and gain some footing as the season went on. From Week 13 until the end of the season, St. Brown posted a 90.3 grade — the third-highest mark in the league. Mostly a slot receiver, the Lions used him in a multitude of ways, including catching passes out of the backfield, as the season wore on.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-best-nfl-players-2021-highest-graded-players-rookies-surprises-every-position-2021

QB Power Rankings 2021: Aaron Rodgers is king, again (21. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (Season: 14 GP | 231.8 YPG (16th) | 67.2% (T-10th) | 4.3 avg CAY (32nd) | 3.8 TD% (23rd) | 1.6 INT% (T-5th) | 87 rush yards (26th) | 0 rush TDs (T-28th)):  Against the Green Bay Packers’ blitz, Jared Goff was 7-of-11 for 74 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sure, the Packers took their foot off the pedal, but Goff and the Lions showed fight to the bitter end of the year. You have to commend them and first-year coach Dan Campbell.  And while Goff’s first season away from the Rams comes off as an embarrassment, surprisingly, it wasn’t. One look at the Lions’ record, and surely Goff must’ve been terrible, right? However, he completed a career-high 67.2% of his passes while his touchdown rate was its highest since 2018, and his interception rate was its lowest since 2017.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/qb-power-rankings-2021/
