Week 1 saw Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders being named NFL Rookie of the Week after a mixed performance that included a solid rushing grade but poor passing metrics.

While he showcased impressive running skills, his passing efficiency was low, raising questions about his performance compared to other finalists.

Notably, Dominick Puni of the San Francisco 49ers excelled with high grades in both run and pass blocking, indicating he might have been a more deserving candidate for the recognition.
