It is hard to just call out one player on the Philadelphia Liberty as there are a ton of players who are giving it their all and really contributing to the team.
I think I have to split it between offense and defense as it was just too hard to really pick one person, but it was hard to figure out that it was two rookies who were really shining this year.
On offense I have to give a shout out to Lonnie Jackson. He is splitting carries with Anders Christiansen, and they are basically even on the stat sheet. He is closing in on 500 rushing yards and has 5 rushing touchdowns. He has also benefited the receiving game, he’s on his way to 100 yards receiving which is always an added benefit for a running back. He has been a great 1-2 combo with Christiansen and the Philly backfield is set for long time.
On defense we have rookie Xavier Walls, the man is a tackling machine this year. He is currently ranked third in overall tackles at 71. He also is getting through opposing offensive lines with 5 tackles for losses and 3 sacks. If you add the 2 interceptions the guy is having a great season. He is the number choice for Defensive Rookie of the Year right now.
