2020 Flea Flicker All-Rookie Team

I’m probably picking an All-Rookie Team simply because the Minnesota Vikings had the league’s best rookie. Justin Jefferson.

Four Vikings might be a little homer-ish but it’s my rookie team. Jeff Gladney and Cam Dantzler played well as rookies. There came a time this season when I was more comfortable with them being on the field than I ever was last season with Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes. D.J. Wonnum played well until he may/may not have hit a “rookie wall” the final weeks of the season. With or without purple shades, he impressed me more than any other rookie edge rusher not named Chase Young.
