Phillip Dorsett Will Emerge as a Surprise Contender for Rookie of the Year

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Phillip Dorsett may have found the worst way possible to kick off his NFL career. The 29th overall selection in the 2015 NFL draft fumbled on not one but two punt returns in his team's 27-14 fall to the Buffalo Bills.

Already criticized as being the wrong pick by a team who would have been better served choosing a defensive player, Dorsett might have alienated what few avid supporters he had in the first place. So why elevate him to such a lofty projection?

Redemption—among other things.
