On this episode of 40s and Free Agents, Bucky Brooks and Lance Zierlein are joined by Trevor Sikkema for a rookie check-in around the NFL. They discuss how injuries and offensive line struggles have impacted Jeremiyah Love's rookie season, why Kaelon Black has thrived with the 49ers, and whether Mike Washington has outplayed Ashton Jeanty or is simply a better fit in Klint Kubiak's system.

Then, they evaluate Carnell Tate's development alongside Cam Ward, and the emergence of Cleveland's young receiving corps. Later, they break down the early performances of David Bailey, Rueben Bain Jr., Arvell Reese, and Sonny Styles before highlighting impressive rookies across the offensive line and secondary.
