Here are 5 guys who areworthyof gold stars for their play in the season openers: 

Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles 

It might be a long year for New York Giants’ fans, with Barkley prospering as a multi-faceted risk in Philly. The two-time Pro Bowler accumulated 132 skirmish backyards and scored 3 goals in his launching with his previous competing. He showed his hallmark balance and body control and burst with the ball in his hands while likewise showing the grittiness to rumble inbetween the takeson on downhill runs. Barkley’s big-play possible from the backfield includes a measurement to an offense packed with electrical playmakers on the boundary. With brand-new offending organizer Kellen Moore costs additional hours in the laboratory coming up with imaginative plans to get the ball into the hands of the seventh-year professional as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. 

Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The previous No. 1 general choice was almost perfect in a dominant efficiency versus the Commanders. Mayfield finished 80 percent of his passes while passing for 289 lawns and 4 ratings. The veteran selected apart the Commanders with surgical accuracy, dispersing the ball to 7 pass catchers. With Mayfield refining in on Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rachaad White (the trio integrated for 19 receptions, 219 backyards, and 3 ratings) to trigger the effort, challengers should offer with the Buccaneers’ sizzling quarterback and unsafe “Big 3” in Tampa.

The NFL’s “Fastest Man” revealed off the 4.2 speed that made him an NFL integrate legend while realestate a reverse and go-ball for a couple of ratings. The plays were relatively plucked from the playbook that assisted DeSean Jackson thrive as a huge play expert under Reid in Philly. As Worthy settles into his function as the designated playmaker/vertical hazard in the Chiefs’ revamped offense, Reid may pull some sheets from his old playbooks to assistance his novice pass catcher effect the videogame weekly. 

Gregory Rousseau, EDGE, Buffalo Bills 

Perhaps the Bills’ top pass-rusher is allset to signupwith the elite ranks after presuming a “hat technique” in the season opener. Rousseau wreaked havoc off the edges, tallying 6 takeson, 3 sacks, and a required fumble versus the Cardinals. The fourth-year professional showed impressive hand work, balance, and body control to win with finesse, however the Bills’ standout flashes adequate power and pop to overwhelm the blocker with brute force. With 20 profession sacks in three-plus seasons and a videogame that is rounding into type, the previous second-round choice may emerge as the X-factor on the Bills’ next playoff run. 

Demarcus Lawrence, EDGE, Dallas Cowboys

The veteran turned back the clock with a two-sack effort that advised the football world of his supremacy throughout his prime when he amountedto 24.5 sacks in 2017 and2018 Lawrence’s energy, effort, and pass-rushing knowledge were on screen as he consistently whipped the Browns with an selection of moves that were boosted by Mike Zimmer’s strategies. Given his effect as a disruptive force off of the edge in the Cowboys’ takingapart of a playoff competitor, the veteran shouldhave a helmet stickerlabel for his efforts in Week 1.
