NFL 2021 Rookie Awards, from Best QB to Biggest Day 3 Gem (Biggest Day 3 Gem - WR Amon-Ra St. Brown:  Through September, St. Brown had six grabs for 43 yards. Then he went nutty. In the last 14 outings, St. Brown had 84 receptions for 869 yards with five touchdowns, one of which was a walk-off winner against the Vikings.   Now, the early fourth-round pick averaged just 10.1 yards per catch, which appears low at first glance, but given that he served as the Lions' possession slot wideout, it's actually an impressive average. Only two drops on 115 targets screams reliable option in any passing offense. The polished route runner will be an integral facet of Detroit's attack in the future.   Most Valuable Undrafted Free Agent - CB Jerry Jacobs:  Not a large selection to choose from here, but Jacobs turned in the most impressive UDFA season in 2021, with seven pass breakups and a forced fumble in 13 games before landing on IR with a torn ACL. The Arkansas State and Arkansas product was a chippy outside corner in Dan Campbell's offense, an appropriate style for a team looking bite its opponent's kneecaps every week.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/creating-nfl-2021-rookie-awards-from-best-qb-to-biggest-day-3-gem-mac-jones-micah-parsons-headline/

2021 NFL All-Rookie Team: Mac Jones, Ja'Marr Chase, Micah Parsons and more (T PENEI SEWELL, DETROIT LIONS - Sewell didn’t have the ideal start to his NFL career. He followed up being the fourth-lowest graded tackle to play at least 50 snaps during the 2021 preseason with a 58.8 PFF grade over the first five weeks of the regular season, 32nd among 39 qualifying left tackles.  Sewell started to settle in once he switched back over to that right side in Week 10 with Taylor Decker returning from injury. Sewell ended the 2021 regular season as PFF’s sixth-highest graded right tackle. The arrow should only be pointing up for the 21-year-old as he continues to get more comfortable on the right side.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2021-all-rookie-team-mac-jones-micah-parsons
