2014 NFL Rookie Standouts

The 2014 football season has, unfortunately, come to a close. It is now time to reflect on some of the breakout stars who made a real impact on the field.

Some rookies stood out more than others. For many little boys, their dream is being in the NFL. It is incredible to see players in their first season do so well. The athleticism these players show is unbelievable. Below, is a list of some of the rookies that I think had a phenomenal season.

Odell Beckham Jr. undoubtedly had one of the best rookie seasons for a wide receiver in 2014. His one-handed catch turned into a meme that went completely viral. The New York Giants drafted the rookie from LSU in the first round with the 12th pick. The Giants ended up getting a great player who provided many touchdowns for the team.


Teddy Bridgewater is the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. He was drafted in the first round. Bridgewater came from Louisville and lived up to all his hype. The Vikings did not have a successful season, but Bridgewater looks promising for the future of the team. He passed for 2,919 yards and had 14 touchdowns.


Tre Mason was a running back out of Auburn. The St. Louis Rams selected him in the third round with the 75th overall pick. Mason had 765 yards with four touchdowns, and he started nine games and appeared in 12.


Sammy Watkins was a high profile draftee entering the 2014 draft. The Buffalo Bills selected him in the first round with the fourth overall pick. The wide receiver played for Clemson. Watkins had six receiving touchdowns with 65 receptions, and 982 receiving yards in his rookie season.


Bishop Sankey was selected in the second round with the 54th pick. Sankey played running back for the University of Washington. With the Tennessee Titans, Sankey had 569 rushing yards this season.


Eric Ebron is a rookie tight end for the Detroit Lions. He was one of the most highly sought-out tight ends in the 2014 draft. He was selected in the first round of the 2014 draft with the tenth overall pick. He recorded 25 receptions this season and had 248 receiving yards.


All of these rookies had a great first season. They are sure to have successful futures in the NFL. I cannot wait for wait for the 2015 season to begin.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
