New York Jets rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner was excellent in their team's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gardner has already established himself as a true shutdown corner. He allowed just two catches on seven targets in this game.

Gardner also allowed just nine yards on those two receptions, and it seems as though the Jets have a true franchise cornerback on their hands.

#2 - George Pickens

Another standout rookie from the Jets and Steelers game was wide receiver George Pickens.

He truly broke out in Week 4, going for 102 yards on six receptions during Pittsburgh's loss to New York. Mike Tomlin will be hoping the rookie pairing of Pickens and Kenny Pickett will help lead the team to glory in the years to come.

#1 - Dameon Pierce

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce has solidified himself as the starting back for the team already in his first season, and his Week 4 performance was his best yet.

In his team's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Pierce was a rare bright spot, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. He also caught all six of his targets as he became a focal-point of the team's offense.
