xen 1,010,220 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-2017-nfl-rookie-rankings-through-week-17?utm_content=buffera384d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=nfl PFF Grade: 89.4 PFF Elite Stat: Hunt had 19 runs of at least 15 yards this season, the most among all running backs. In a race that was close right up until the very end, Hunt just barely edges out Alvin Kamara for PFF’s Offensive Rookie of the Year honor. Hunt ranks third among running backs in terms of overall grade at the season’s end, second in rushing grade and 13th in receiving grade. Hunt ranked fifth among running backs with a 7.0 explosive run rate (a run of at least 15 yards), and that number gets amplified by the fact that he had the sixth-highest carry total in the league – he had the ball in his hands more than most, and more than most, he took that ball and made a big play with it. Hunt was also wildly successful when it came to forcing missed tackles this season. He finished the season with a league-leading 77 forced missed tackles; only two other running backs (Melvin Gordon and Le’Veon Bell) broke more than 60. After the first month of the season, it looked like Hunt was going to run away with this award before Kamara stepped in and made this one of the tightest races of the year. When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, Hunt is your 2017 PFF Offensive Rookie of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCJohnKC 33 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I wonder if this has any bearing on naming the NFL ROTY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCJohnKC 33 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Probably not No, you're probably right. Personally I think he deserves it (as a Homer Chiefs fan ????) but had Kamera played a full slate he might have made it a hands down decision. Just due to the unfortunate slump we came across.

sith13 1,746 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It won't matter in the ROTY voting but a good indicator that it'll be between Hunt and Kamara. Hunt has the well deserved early season hype going for him and I think the rushing title should give him the edge. If Kamara had a featured back role and had this performance he would have won breaking some records but that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,016 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Kamara, in the long run, will be an injury prone guy. I don’t see him holding up as true featured back. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
