Matty's Rookie of the Week

Hello everyone and welcome to the special playoff wild card weekend edition of Matty's Rookie of the Week. Wild Card weekend was just like its namesake; wild, as all but 1 top seeded team was over taken and it was good to see how some of this years top rookies were able to handle the added pressure of playing in a playoff game so without further delay, lets get into the trenches and find out who I have as my rookie of the week!

Matty's Rookie of the Week:

Domininque Rodgers-Cromartie, CB
6'2" 182 lbs
Tennessee State
1st round pick, 16th overall
10 tackles, int

For the wild card weekend, my rookie of the week is DRC who has really come on in the latter half of the season. He's been a ball hawk and shown up in run support as well and was a reason as to why the Cardinals were able to surpass the Falcons this week in a stunning upset that very few can still fathom considering how Arizona limped into the playoffs. DRC was lined up against Roddy White and did a very good job with him considering he is Matt Ryan's favourite target and a superstar and DRC did a great job in keeping the other Atlanta receivers limited as well. Of all the corners drafted, he has shown that talent doesn't discriminate against small schools. Congrats DRC, a job well done.

Be sure to stay tuned next week for the divisional playoff round ROTW.
