NFL rookie rankings at midpoint of 2023 season: Jordan Addison skyrockets into top five (6  Sam LaPorta - DRAFTED: Round 2, No. 34 overall.  Sam LaPorta has grown into a focal point of the Lions’ passing attack and is now on a historic pace, having become the first tight end to log at least 40 receptions, 400 receiving yards and four receiving TDs in his first eight career games, per NFL Research. His athletic ability and ball skills have made him a go-to target for Jared Goff, especially in the red zone.  12.  Brian Branch - DRAFTED: Round 2, No. 45 overall.  Brian Branch got out to a fast start to the season, picking Patrick Mahomes and taking it to the house in the NFL Kickoff Game, but injuries have hindered the versatile rookie, forcing him to miss Weeks 5 and 6. Branch, who has logged 26 solo tackles and four passes defensed in his six games, is a big play waiting to happen. He's played an important role in the Lions’ defensive improvement from a year ago.  17.  Jahmyr Gibbs - DRAFTED: Round 1, No. 12 overall.  We have waited more than two months for Jahmyr Gibbs to break out. When he finally got a prime opportunity in Week 8 (logging 26 carries), he looked like a Pro Bowl-caliber player (152 rush yards and a TD). His talent is obvious; it was just a matter of time before we saw that type of performance. Gibbs started the three contests David Montgomery missed due to injury, giving him a mark of 132.3 scrimmage yards per game as a starter, the highest mark in the NFL (minimum two starts), according to NFL Research. Even with the veteran returning, Gibbs should still get the rock plenty.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-rookie-rankings-at-midpoint-of-2023-season-jordan-addison-skyrockets-into-to
