Highlights
- Houston Texans rookie QB C.J. Stroud broke the single-game rookie passing record for yards, cementing himself as a franchise quarterback.
- Other rookies in the top 10 passing yard performances would advise caution for getting overly excited about a single performance during a QB's inaugural NFL campaign.
- Cam Newton, Matthew Stafford, Ryan Tannehill, Andrew Luck, and even Kellen Moore made impressive rookie passing yard performances, but faced their fair share of challenges throughout their careers.
