I'm voting for AJ Dillon, the guy was a force everytime he touched the ball, seemed to be one of the few guys who played with some passion, wish he would have gotten the ball more early on.
Quay Walker played 38 defensive snaps (61% of total defensive snaps) and was balls to the wall and impactful. By comparison, AJ Dillon played 31 offensive snaps (51% of total) and was also balls to the wall and impactful.
I expected it from Dillon. Walker? Yeah, to a point but when he’s the one standing out among all those highly touted veterans, I’d say he exceeded expectations.
Fair point, although I think we were hoping Quay would play more and that is probably what we'd expect from Dillon, given expected snaps.
Dillon wow'ed me on a few occasions, never really got that from Quay, some nice plays, few poor plays in coverage it looked like. Impressive and hopeful for the future, guess I already have a higher bar for him than some.
There were several plays where it looked like the Vikes might pick up some yards and Quay closed the distance very quickly and stopped the play before it started. Maybe he made it look easy, or so.ething. but I think he looked impressive.

This has got to be a first (for a reg season game), nobody went with Aaron Rodgers.

I was kind of waiting around for grades from this game just to confirm what I saw. They did. Kenny Clark. Maybe it's time I move up the bar for him expectations-wise, but this is more about being the one star that approached anything near the expectations we had set for them.
A.J. Dillon would be my runner up, despite the goal line fail.

Kinda concerning that the OL grades out poorly again in run-blocking. Runyan with the lowest run-block score per PFF, Myers did not get any push, nay Newman, Hanson is a Center playing Guard, Nijman is an athletic pass-pro guy.
I really wish we could get just 1 guy for our OL who's there just to steamroll/bully people.

That Tom is below Hanson is an indictment of PFF grades...

Yeah, that made me do a double-take

I don’t know how Dillon doesn’t win this with pretty much 4 offensive lineman either out of position or backups and still had a phenomenal day. I would vote Quay but he didn’t finish the game.
I think I’ll vote Kenny Clark. I thought he played very well.
