The best candidates for NFL Rookie of the Year awards aren't just about who is the best player. A confluence of factors -- from raw talent, to the opportunity to start immediately, to being surrounded by the right cast of teammates -- is required for one rookie to rise above all others. Here is a look at six strong possibilities for the 2015 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Maxx Williams, TE, Baltimore Ravens
With Owen Daniels signing with the Denver Broncos in free agency and hip injuries putting the career of Dennis Pitta in question, the Ravens invested a big pick (No. 55 overall) in Williams, who could provide a real downfield threat with his impressive receiving skills. Williams should get every chance to start and has the athleticism to get open. As well, Joe Flacco just plain likes throwing to tight ends. In his seven seasons as a starter, a tight end has been one of his top three pass catchers in five of them. Don't be surprised if the Flacco-Williams connection sparks quickly and catches fire.
