Best 8 NFL comparisons to Jaquan Brisker's rookie season with Chicago Bears
6. T.J. Ward
TJ Ward was drafted 38th overall in the 2010 NFL draft. He has a very similar playing style to Jaquan Briser, so it is unsurprising that they had identical rookie seasons.
Name | Tackles | Sacks | TFL | Hits | Approximate Value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jaquan Brisker | 104 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
TJ Ward | 123 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 6 |
T.J. Ward had a solid eight-year career. He had an injury in his second season, and his career was cut short due to health, but that was also the style in which he played. Ward made two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro. He will also be remembered as the legendary Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos defense leader.
5. Antoine Winfield Jr.
Of all of the players listed so far, Winfield has the most incomplete story. However, I think we know the route he is heading down as he enters his fourth NFL season. He started with a nearly identical rookie season to Jaquan Brisker.
Name | Tackles | Sacks | TFL | Hits | Approximate Value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jaquan Brisker | 104 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
Antoine Winfield J.r | 94 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 6 |
That year he was named to the All-Pro team and was named Rookie of the Year on the defensive side of the ball. His last two years did not live up to that, but he now made his second Pro Bowl. He also joins Ward as a Super Bowl winner.
4. Jessie Bates
Jessie Bates has a bit of a different playing style from Jaquan Brisker. You can see that from some of the stats, but they had nearly the same number of tackles and only drafted six spots away from each other in their respective drafts.
Name | Tackles | Sacks | TFL | Hits | Approximate Value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jaquan Brisker | 104 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
Jessie Bates | 111 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
We know the outcome for Jessie Bates, as he just signed a massive new deal, making him one of the highest-paid players at his position. His story is incomplete, but he is in year six with a new team. Still, his five years with the Bengals featured an All-Pro and an AFC Championship.
