The 2019 NFL Draft was loaded with edge rushers. Those players have delivered as expected this season. However, the wide receiver position was considered to be rather weak in terms of high end talent. A handful of pass catchers have made their presence known this season including two rookies making big plays for playoff contenders in the NFC West.
CBS Sports examines how the rookie class fared over the weekend to compile these weekly updated cumulative rankings.
Week 12 is in the books and there's a lot to go over. Fortunately Will Brinson, John Breech, Ryan Wilson and Sean Wagner-McGough are here to break everything down on the Pick Six Podcast. Listen below and be sure to subscribe right here for daily NFL goodness fired into your eardrums.
