PFF Secret Superstar: Rhett Ellison

Post by dead_poet »

Meet the new Erin Henderson! (he says, tongue-in-cheek to Jim):

Excerpt:
Jack of All Trades

Although his forte was his run blocking, Ellison graded positively in every facet of the game. He received a +2.8 grade for his pass blocking, where he gave up zero sacks and hits, and did not allow a QB pressure until the playoff game against the Packers. He wasn’t targeted often as a receiver, but he made the most of his opportunities, posting a +1.6 grade on the season. Another impressive aspect of Ellison’s play was that he didn’t commit a penalty the entire season.

The Viking was also consistent throughout the season, and did not have any glaringly bad games. His worst grade the entire season was versus the Rams in Week 15, where he posted a ­-0.7. The week before that, he had his best game of the year against the Bears, where he dominated blocking for AP with a +4.3 grade (+3.9 in run blocking).

LOL! They get a bit overzealous in their praise but they haven't elevated him to erin henderson level just yet!

It's nice to see Ellison getting some recognition. I thought he had a fine rookie season.

I'm still looking forward to Erin Henderson elevating to Erin Henderson level!

But admittedly, that's asking a lot...
