Best Rookie Years

August 8, 2024 by nflinlondon

The NFL hype-train is in full effect, as fantasy fans start making their predictions as to who will be the best rookie in 2024.  But who are some of the players who had the Best Rookie Years?
Let’s take a look at the list at several rookies have made an immediate impact, leaving their mark from day one. These athletes didn’t just meet expectations—they exceeded them, setting the stage for illustrious careers. Here, we take a look at seven NFL rookies who had truly breakout seasons, capturing the attention of fans and analysts alike.
Who knows, maybe someone in 2024 will crack it as well?

1. Randy Moss (1998, Minnesota Vikings)

Randy Moss burst onto the NFL scene in 1998 and quickly became one of the most electrifying wide receivers the league has ever seen. Drafted 21st overall by the Minnesota Vikings, Moss made an immediate impact with his unique combination of size, speed, and athleticism. During his rookie season, Moss caught 69 passes for 1,313 yards and an astonishing 17 touchdowns. His ability to stretch the field with deep routes opened up the Vikings’ offense, helping them achieve a 15-1 regular season record. Moss’s rookie year set the foundation for a Hall of Fame career, and his 17 touchdown receptions remain a rookie record.

2. Cam Newton (2011, Carolina Panthers)

When the Carolina Panthers selected Cam Newton with the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, expectations were sky-high. Newton didn’t just meet those expectations—he shattered them. In his rookie season, Newton threw for 4,051 yards and 21 touchdowns while adding 706 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. He became the first rookie quarterback to throw for over 4,000 yards, and his 35 total touchdowns set a new record for rookie QBs. Newton’s dual-threat ability revolutionized the quarterback position and earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

3. Eric Dickerson (1983, Los Angeles Rams)

Eric Dickerson’s rookie season in 1983 is still considered one of the greatest by any running back in NFL history. Drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Rams, Dickerson wasted no time making his presence felt. He rushed for 1,808 yards and scored 18 total touchdowns, setting a rookie record for rushing yards that still stands today. Dickerson’s combination of speed, vision, and power was unmatched, and he quickly became the focal point of the Rams’ offense. His performance not only earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award but also set the stage for a Hall of Fame career.

4. Lawrence Taylor (1981, New York Giants)

Lawrence Taylor is widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, and his rookie season in 1981 was nothing short of spectacular. Selected second overall by the New York Giants, Taylor revolutionized the outside linebacker position with his aggressive and disruptive style of play. He recorded 9.5 sacks (unofficial at the time, as sacks were not an official statistic until 1982) and was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Taylor’s impact went beyond the stats, as he transformed the Giants’ defense and struck fear into opposing quarterbacks. His rookie season was just the beginning of a legendary career that would include two Super Bowl titles and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

5. Ben Roethlisberger (2004, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Ben Roethlisberger took the NFL by storm in 2004, leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 15-1 record and an appearance in the AFC Championship Game. Drafted 11th overall, “Big Ben” was thrust into the starting role in Week 3 due to an injury to the Steelers’ starter. Roethlisberger quickly proved he was up to the challenge, throwing for 2,621 yards and 17 touchdowns while completing 66.4% of his passes. He won all 13 of his regular-season starts, setting an NFL record for the most wins by a rookie quarterback. Roethlisberger’s poise under pressure and ability to make plays on the move laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually include two Super Bowl victories.

6. Gale Sayers (1965, Chicago Bears)

Gale Sayers, known as “The Kansas Comet,” had a rookie season in 1965 that remains one of the most impressive in NFL history. Drafted by the Chicago Bears with the fourth overall pick, Sayers was a dynamic running back, receiver, and return specialist. He scored a staggering 22 touchdowns—14 rushing, 6 receiving, and 2 on special teams—amassing 1,374 yards from scrimmage. Sayers’ most iconic performance came in a single game where he scored six touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, showcasing his remarkable versatility and game-breaking ability. Sayers’ rookie season earned him the NFL Rookie of the Year award and solidified his place as one of the most exciting players to ever grace the field.

7. Dak Prescott (2016, Dallas Cowboys)

Dak Prescott wasn’t expected to see the field much in his rookie season after being drafted in the fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys in 2016. However, an injury to Tony Romo in the preseason thrust Prescott into the starting role, and he seized the opportunity in remarkable fashion. Prescott threw for 3,667 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions, leading the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and an NFC East title. His ability to protect the football and make smart decisions under pressure was reminiscent of a seasoned veteran. Prescott’s outstanding performance earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and set the stage for a promising career in Dallas.

These seven NFL rookies not only met the high expectations placed upon them but also exceeded them, setting records and laying the foundations for future success. Their impact on the game was immediate, and their rookie seasons remain some of the most memorable in NFL history. As new talents continue to enter the league, these players serve as benchmarks for what a truly exceptional rookie season can look like.

Will Caleb Williams or Marvin Harrison Jr. have this much of a deep impact in 2024? There certainly is a lot of pressure on them.

NFL Fantasy History

July 16, 2024 by nflinlondon

It’s almost time to kick off your NFL Fantasy Football season for 2024, but it hasn’t always been so easy and straightforward to put a team together. What do you know about NFL Fantasy History? The digital age has spoiled fantasy fans with stats and ease, and is a far cry from the hand-written draft picks made a few decades ago. 

Fantasy football has evolved from a niche hobby into a cultural phenomenon that captivates millions of fans each year. So let’s take a look at the history of NFL fantasy leagues, their origins, references in popular culture, and their evolution in the digital age. Who knows, maybe learning about history can help you put your team together? 

Early Beginnings

The concept of fantasy football was first realized in 1962 by Wilfred “Bill” Winkenbach, a part-owner of the Oakland Raiders. Winkenbach, along with a few colleagues, created the GOPPPL (Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League), marking the inception of fantasy football. This early league comprised eight teams where participants drafted NFL players and scored points based on their real-life performance each week. A bit ironic that it was an NFL owner that started this whole thing that would become a stinger in the butt of the NFL for decades. 

Growth in the 1980s and 1990s

For several years, fantasy football remained a niche hobby, primarily enjoyed by a small group of enthusiasts. However, the 1980s and 1990s saw a surge in its popularity. The proliferation of personal computers and the advent of the internet made managing leagues and tracking player statistics significantly easier. During this period, fantasy football content started appearing in magazines and newspapers, further promoting the game to a broader audience. 

It was in these golden nuggets of magazine culture that real NFL fantasy pros emerged, spending loads of money on ‘NFL Fantasy Packages’ that you could order, and have mailed to your house. 

That’s right kids, it wasn’t always digital love. 

Fantasy Football in Popular Culture

Fantasy football’s rise in popularity inevitably led to its portrayal in television shows and movies. One of the most notable examples is the television show “The League,” which aired from 2009 to 2015. This comedy series revolved around a group of friends deeply involved in their fantasy football league, highlighting both the humor and the intense passion that the game can inspire.

Who can forget some of the greatest moments as the team all vied for Shiva Bowl domination? If you haven’t seen the series, it might be a good time to refresh before the season starts anew. 

Celebrity Involvement

Celebrities and professional athletes have played a significant role in popularizing fantasy football. Notable figures such as actors Paul Rudd and Ashton Kutcher, as well as NFL stars like Peyton Manning and Jerry Rice, have openly shared their enthusiasm for the game. Their involvement has helped bring mainstream attention to fantasy football, making it a familiar pastime in many households.

The Evolution in the Digital Age

The digital revolution transformed fantasy football into a mainstream activity. The late 1990s and early 2000s saw the emergence of online platforms like Yahoo! Fantasy Sports, ESPN Fantasy Football, and CBS Sports. These platforms provided automated scoring systems, live drafts, and detailed player statistics, making it easier for fans to participate and manage their teams. The advent of mobile apps allowed users to manage their teams on the go, further enhancing the game’s accessibility and convenience.

Cut to the 2010’s as Fantasy turned to reality in an explosion of NFL draft providers on a massive digital scale. Providers scrambled to create fun and unique ways to streamline the draft, knowing that the league would soon give the thumbs up to fantasy. 

Advanced Analytics and Tools

The rise of big data and advanced analytics has taken fantasy football to new heights. Platforms now offer in-depth player analysis, predictive models, and customizable scoring systems, allowing participants to make more informed decisions. Tools such as mock drafts, draft kits, and waiver wire advice have become essential for serious fantasy football managers.

Social Media and Community Engagement

Social media has played a pivotal role in fostering fantasy football communities. Platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook host vibrant communities where fans and experts share insights, discuss strategies, and offer advice. This social aspect has enhanced the overall experience, promoting engagement and camaraderie among participants.

 The NFL’s Stance on Fantasy Football

For many years, the NFL was opposed to fantasy football, concerned that it might detract from the actual games or promote gambling. The league actually hated the idea of fantasy, and looked at ways to kibosh it. However, as the popularity of fantasy football continued to soar, the league began to recognise its potential benefits. Fantasy football increased fan engagement, viewership, and interest in the NFL, ultimately leading to the league’s acceptance and promotion of the game.

Embracing Fantasy Football

Today, the NFL fully embraces fantasy football. The league offers official fantasy games and integrates fantasy content into its broadcasts and digital platforms. NFL RedZone, for example, is a channel specifically designed to appeal to fantasy football players, providing live coverage of all the action from around the league. This integration has helped fantasy football become an integral part of the NFL experience.

Economic Impact and Industry Growth

The fantasy sports industry has grown into a multi-billion-dollar business. According to the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association (FSGA), over 60 million people in the United States and Canada participate in fantasy sports, with football being the most popular. This industry includes not only league-hosting platforms but also a wide range of related services, such as draft kits, expert analysis, and daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests.

Sponsorships and Partnerships

Major brands and companies have recognized the potential of the fantasy football market, leading to significant sponsorships and partnerships. Companies like DraftKings and FanDuel have become household names, offering daily and weekly fantasy sports contests with substantial cash prizes. The NFL itself has partnered with these platforms, further cementing fantasy football’s place in the sports entertainment landscape.

From its humble beginnings in a hotel room in Oakland to becoming a cultural phenomenon, NFL fantasy leagues have come a long way. The game’s evolution has been driven by technological advancements, media exposure, and the passion of millions of fans. Despite initial resistance, the NFL has embraced fantasy football, recognizing its ability to enhance fan engagement and deepen the connection to the sport.

Fantasy football’s rich history and continuous evolution underscore its enduring appeal, ensuring it will remain a beloved pastime for years to come.

So beloved in fact, we are looking to start a few new Fantasy Leagues for our NFL fans around the world. 

Watch this space, as we will have opportunities to join free and paid leagues in the upcoming weeks.

History of the Washington Redskins

July 4, 2024 by nflinlondon

Perhaps one of the most iconic and controversial teams in the NFL has been the “Washington Redksins”-aka the Commanders, aka the WFT, aka who know who they will be next?

From the early years as an NFL dynasty in a tight league, to the Dan Snyder years, the team from the capital has always drawn big eyeballs. 

So let’s take a look at the history of the Washington Redskins, and why the team has only appeared in London once over the years. 

Origins and Early Years

The team known today (for now) as the Washington Commanders has a rich and controversial history that begins long before their recent name change. Originally founded in 1932, the franchise was initially based in Boston and was known as the Boston Braves. The following year, the team changed its name to the Boston Redskins. In 1937, the team relocated to Washington, D.C., becoming the Washington Redskins, a name that would stick for over 80 years. After 80 years, it became unstuck, which is where we are now.

Early Success and Championships

The move to Washington, D.C. coincided with immediate success on the field. In their first year in the capital, the Redskins won the NFL Championship, defeating the Chicago Bears. The team repeated this success in 1942, cementing its place as one of the NFL’s early powerhouses. These victories were largely due to the efforts of star players like Sammy Baugh, a pioneering quarterback known for his versatile skills. It seems that a move to the nation’s capital was a big boon for Washington and the team.

Controversies and Name Issues

The name “Redskins” has been a subject of controversy for decades. Critics argued that it was offensive and perpetuated harmful stereotypes about Native Americans. Despite mounting pressure from various groups and the broader public, the team retained the name until 2020. The debate reached a tipping point during the social justice movements of that year, leading the team to temporarily adopt the name Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Washington Commanders in 2022.
Despite numerous native groups protesting that the name was indeed ‘respectful’, many Liberal-mobsters jumped on them, proving the issue is far too contentious now.

Famous Players and Legendary Moments

The Redskins boast a roster of legendary players who have left an indelible mark on the game. Beyond Sammy Baugh, notable figures include John Riggins, whose powerful running helped the team win Super Bowl XVII. Joe Theismann, the charismatic quarterback, led the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII and was instrumental in the team’s success during the 1980s. 

Art Monk, a prolific wide receiver, set numerous records and was a key player during the Redskins’ successful runs in the 1980s and early 1990s. Defensive end Dexter Manley was another standout, known for his pass-rushing prowess. Under the leadership of head coach Joe Gibbs, the Redskins won three Super Bowl titles (XVII, XXII, and XXVI), solidifying their reputation as one of the NFL’s elite teams.

The Redskins in the UK

The Washington Redskins have also made their mark across the pond. As part of the NFL’s International Series, they played a regular-season game in London at Wembley Stadium in 2016. This game against the Cincinnati Bengals ended in a dramatic 27-27 tie, showcasing the excitement and unpredictability of American football to UK fans. The match was a significant event, as it highlighted the growing popularity of the NFL in the United Kingdom and provided British fans with an opportunity to see their favorite players in action. That was however the last match London has seen for the WFT, beckoning the question as to when we will see Washington back in the UK again?

Modern Era and Rebranding

The modern era for the franchise has been one of transformation and adaptation. The rebranding to the Washington Commanders represents a new chapter, aiming to honor the team’s storied past while embracing a future of inclusivity and respect. This period has also seen the team strive to return to its former glory, with a focus on building a competitive squad through savvy draft picks and free-agent acquisitions.

Looking Ahead

As the Washington Commanders, the franchise is poised for a new era, building on its rich history while addressing past controversies. The team continues to engage with its fan base, both in the U.S. and internationally, with hopes of creating more memorable moments and legendary players for future generations. Now that Dan Snyder and his reign are over, perhaps the team can get back to trying to win their division, something that hasn’t been done for decades.

The history of the Washington Redskins is a tapestry of triumphs, controversies, and legendary figures. From their early days in Boston to their rebranding as the Washington Commanders, the team has navigated the complexities of modern sports culture. For UK fans, the Redskins’ visit to London remains a highlight, exemplifying the global reach of American football. As the Commanders, the franchise looks forward to writing the next chapter in its storied history, striving for excellence both on and off the field.

So…should they change their name?

History of the Bears

May 9, 2024 by nflinlondon

With the Chicago Bears due to play in London again in 2024, we thought it apt to take a look at the history of this iconic team, famed for their incredible D, and stellar 1985 Super Bowl team.
So how much do you know about the Chicago Bears? Let’s take a look at the History of the Chicago Bears.

Nestled amidst the vibrant cityscape of Chicago, the Chicago Bears stand tall as one of the most iconic franchises in the National Football League (NFL). Renowned for their rich legacy, the Bears have etched their name in the annals of football history, leaving an indelible mark on the sport. Embark on a journey through time as we unravel the captivating tale of the Chicago Bears, tracing their origins, navigating through challenges, and witnessing their remarkable international growth.

Formation and Early Years

The inception of the Chicago Bears dates back to 1919 when legendary player, coach, and owner George Halas, along with Dutch Sternaman, established the Decatur Staleys. Originally based in Decatur, Illinois, the team swiftly transitioned to Chicago the following year, where they were rebranded as the Chicago Bears. Thus, began a saga of triumphs and tribulations that would define the franchise for decades to come.

Challenges and Triumphs

The journey of the Chicago Bears has been rife with challenges, yet marked by resilience and determination. Throughout the years, the team has weathered various storms, including roster shake-ups, financial constraints, and intense competition. However, amidst adversity, the Bears have consistently risen to the occasion, showcasing grit and fortitude on the gridiron. From their early dominance in the 1930s, which saw them clinch multiple NFL championships, to the modern era marked by iconic players like Walter Payton, Dick Butkus, and Mike Ditka, the Bears have carved a legacy of excellence.

Helping the Pack

During the tumultuous years of the Great Depression, the NFL faced unprecedented challenges that threatened its very existence. In a remarkable display of solidarity and sportsmanship, the Chicago Bears played a pivotal role in preserving the league during these dire times. In 1923, when the Green Bay Packers faced financial turmoil, it was the generosity of the Bears’ owner, George Halas, that provided a lifeline to their struggling rivals. Halas, recognizing the importance of maintaining a competitive and sustainable league, selflessly bailed out the Packers, ensuring their continued participation in the NFL. This act of camaraderie not only exemplified the spirit of sportsmanship but also underscored the Bears’ commitment to upholding the integrity and longevity of professional football. In doing so, the Bears helped foster a sense of unity among teams and laid the foundation for the league’s enduring success.

International Growth

While the Chicago Bears’ roots may lie in the heart of the Windy City, their influence transcends geographical boundaries, extending far beyond American shores. With the advent of globalization and the burgeoning popularity of American football worldwide, the Bears have embraced opportunities for international expansion. Through initiatives such as the NFL International Series and strategic partnerships with global brands, the Bears have cultivated a diverse and expansive fan base spanning continents. From hosting international games to engaging with fans through digital platforms, the Bears have emerged as a global ambassador for the sport, fostering a sense of camaraderie and unity among fans worldwide.

Legacy and Impact

As custodians of a storied legacy, the Chicago Bears hold a special place in the hearts of football enthusiasts around the globe. Beyond their on-field prowess, the Bears have become synonymous with tradition, heritage, and community engagement. From iconic landmarks like Soldier Field to revered traditions such as the “Monsters of the Midway,” the Bears embody the essence of football culture, weaving a tapestry of memories that resonate with fans across generations. Moreover, through their philanthropic endeavors and commitment to social responsibility, the Bears continue to make a positive impact on society, empowering communities and fostering inclusivity.

With the Bears due to play once again in London in 2024, UK fans will get the chance to see a new and improved squad, powered by Caleb and and healthy slew of new talent

In the ever-evolving landscape of professional sports, the Chicago Bears stand as a testament to the enduring spirit of athleticism, perseverance, and passion. From humble beginnings to global prominence, the Bears’ journey epitomizes the essence of the American dream, inspiring millions worldwide. As they continue to forge ahead into uncharted territories, the Chicago Bears remain steadfast in their pursuit of excellence, leaving an indelible legacy for generations to come.

Tom Brady Roast Review

May 7, 2024 by nflinlondon

With the NFL season still months away, fans are Jonesing for anything football related to satiate the feels, so when Netflix released the Roast of Tom Brady on Sunday, fans were thrilled to get a bit of football to soothe those DTs.

So was it any good? Is it worth watching? Does TB12 cry? Let’s break some of it all down in our Tom Brady Roast Review.

Roasts

Anyone with a love of comedy will remember the notorious Friar’s Club Roasts that emerged out of a vaudeville era. As the Roasts grew in the 70s’, so was the appetite for celebrities to be roasted by famous comedians and other celebs to validate their ego in a slosh filled affair.

When comedian Jeffrey Ross pushed to reinvigorate the format in the early 2000s’, we were treated to some of the most outrageous and bawdy comedic lines in history. The Roasts of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson had the likes of Greg Goraoldo, Lisa Lampanelli, and some of the harshest take downs in history.

Recently however, celebrities have been coy to attend given that any of their past deeds to could be brought up, and flashed in their face. To put it plainly, celebs today are too much of a pussy to take it.

Brady Steps Up

Is was good of Tom Brady to put himself up for this, even if it was probably his management to add a bit of humanity to him before his Fox gig.

Brady was a good sport about the various digs about his failed marriage, leaving a pregnant ex, and deflating balls. It seems that the only thing that really irked Tommy was when Jeff Ross made a masturbatory joke at the expense of Robert Kraft, which caused Tom to get out of his seat and remonstrate Ross with a quick ‘don’t do that shit again.’

Apparently there were boundaries.

The Niki Glaser Show

They might as well have given the whole roast to comedian Niki Glaser, who was most definitely the funniest person on the dais Sunday night. Anyone who says ‘women aren’t funny’ might want to see the master craft set that Niki blasted at Tom in a relentless fashion.

Cool, collected and with impeccable Swiss timing, Glaser was able to set the bar so high, that even Randy Moss seemed high when he followed her. Her shots at Gronk were so savage, it’s doubtful that he even got them.

Niki is one of the ‘old school’ roasters on the panel, and it was easy to see why she was the best, and so hard to follow.

Jew Bledsoe

Aside from the typical American race-bait jokes, it was interesting to see Drew Bledsoe toss a little antisemitism Julian Edleman’s way. Not only did Drew shade Edelman’s heritage, but also threw in a few ‘Jewy’ jokes about him haggling his own contract, and be able to switch from a nickel to a dime with added value.

Bledsoe extolled the virtues of winery and marriage, neither of which seemed to be in attendance that night as he was cast off to the side by himself.

Kim K

It wouldn’t be LA (or Englewood) without having a Kardashian at the Roast, as Kim represented her clan to a shower of boos from the home crowd.

Despite the assistance of numerous writers, Kardashian, like many non-comics struggled to get the belly laughs, and consistent ribbing.

Tom was able to lob a funny ‘Kanye’ fathering joke at Kim, which deflated any reason for her to be there.

Roasts are a good indicator of the ‘natural funny’ of a person, and Kim certainly doesn’t have it.

Where’s the Booze?

For a 3+ hour affair that is usually flushed with booze, most of the panel seemed to hold an empty glass for most of the evening.

Drew Bledsoe was wireless as he talked about being winless, Brady had 2 empty glasses on the go, and Kevin Hart seemed like he was smashed from the start, and got drunker and surlier as the night went on.

Although Bill Belichick was never shown drinking, he bounced around that microphone like he had a few. And when Brady hit him later with the dig about doing the dirty and getting caught on a Ring, well that was just hilarious.

All in all it was a fun roast, but  along roast. Netflix will be hoping to smash more of these sports events down our throats to atone for those years of ‘wokrness’, but it will be interesting to see if anyone will have the stones to be able to take a good bashing.

Good on Tom Brady for taking it.
