Rookie of the Year – Larry Warford

According to ProFootballFocus, Larry Warford grades out as the 7th-best offensive guard after 8 weeks, with a grade of +7.7. He has had issues with false starts, but he has been phenomenal in run blocking and has done an admirable job in pass protection as well. It’s possible you haven’t noticed much of Warford this season. That’s a good thing.

Honorable Mentions – Sam Martin (13 points), Ezekiel Ansah (11 points)

Others receiving votes – Joseph Fauria (6 points), LaAdrian Waddle (1 point)
