The 2021-2022 NFL season is officially underway. CBS Sports will be tracking rookie performers each week of the season and identifying those that stood out. In Week 1, the first-round selections did not disappoint and fans learned that preseason football matters very little.Without further ado, the cumulative regular season rookie rankings as we head into Week 2:Week 2 Rookie Rankings1 Los Angeles Chargers OT The ' Michael Pierce Jersey rookie left tackle stepped into a competition with and after opting out last season. It was a stiff challenge but one that Slater handled with grace. Los Angeles' offensive line is significantly improved and the Northwestern product is one reason why.2 Detroit Lions OT Detroit played Sewell at right tackle through the preseason, but an injury to forced them to switch him back to his more comfortable position on the left side. The results were unsurprisingly positive. Sewell was able to limit impact on the game.3 New Orleans Saints CB Adebo opted out of the college football season last year but there was zero rust on the tires. He carried himself with confidence and recorded his first NFL interception; on no le s. New Orleans desperately needed a cornerback to step up opposite and it appears the Stanford product is ready.4 Cincinnati Bengals WR Chase had no problems catching the football in his debut. He led all receivers in yardage and secured his first touchdown. The LSU product cooked on a go route down the right boundary.5 Dallas Cowboys LB is all over the field (literally, if you were following the Twitter debate over his circuitous coverage path) for the . The defense has some significant deficiencies but Parsons is able to mask some of those i sues.6 New England Patriots QB was efficient and that is all Bill Belichick asks of his quarterback. He attempted only five pa ses over 15 yards but did not turn the ball over.7 Brandon Williams Jersey Miami Dolphins WR was really exciting in his debut. Miami manufactures touches for him and he is able to create yardage after the catch. Waddle will be the source of several explosive plays this season.8 Cleveland Browns CB Newsome II was on the field for 97% of the defensive snaps in Week 1. He was targeted once on 36 attempts from despite being lined up over on a handful of occasions. It was a four-yard completion to .9 New York Jets QB footwork was a bit erratic in the pocket and I saw the first half statistics just like everyone else. They were not great. The film bore out a better perspective, however. He was making throws with good ball placement but his wide receivers were doing him zero favors. Once his nerves calmed down, he did some very positive things.10 Arizona Cardinals WR Moore is so fast and crisp in his routes. Arizona is going to create ways for him to get the football and that should open things up for . He excelled as a punt returner in the opener as Matt Skura Jersey well.11 Kansas City Chiefs C Cleveland's defensive tackle rotation is a work in progre s but Humphrey held his own against the .12 Green Bay Packers C Tyus Bowser Jersey Outside of being rag-dolled by once early in the game, Myers played really good football. He was able to get out and make blocks in space.13 Philadelphia Eagles WR Smith had a fine debut but it was not spectacular by any means. The first-round pick was a big part of a much improved Philadelphia receiving core.14 Cleveland Browns LB Owusu-Koramoah downplayed the challenge of covering and Kelce made him eat his words once. Otherwise, I thought the rookie did a nice job of getting off blocks and rallying to the football.15 Baltimore Ravens LB There's a lot to clean up, particularly with balance, but the pa s rush potential is tantalizing. Oweh was fast around the edge and showed a strong swipe to separate himself from blockers. The traits are there for him to develop into Baltimore's next great pa s rusher.There was a lengthy list of players who fell short, most notably . Lawrence will almost a suredly be on this list by season's end. Several players showed flashes of great play, but it was inconsistent. tight end was effective as a blocker. cornerback looked good but is not seeing a lot of playing time right now. Browns wide receiver made some big plays in Week 1 while showing that his game is more than just speed. safety made some big plays in space. Marquise Brown Jersey edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka has natural movement skills that bubble to the surface. It is difficult to take a player with a smaller sample size of reps each game over another getting the lion's share because it is easier to play with energy in a rotational role. The list is sure to be very fluid week-to-week.The new NFL season is here! Win or lose, you can shop jerseys, shirts, hats, and much more to support your favorite team. .
