Jets center Joe Tippmann was seen as one of the top prospects at the center position entering the 2023 NFL Draft and had a chance to make an early impact. He did just that for the Jets and was one of the top rookie offensive linemen this season.
The members of the Pro Football Writers of America agreed and recognized him by placing him on the organization’s All-Rookie Team at center for the 2023 season.

Tippmann started 14 games for the Jets in his debut season. He initially started at right guard in Week 3 due to injuries before Connor McGovern’s injury in Week 8 moved Tippmann over to center, where he would start the rest of the season.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was named Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year while Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. was named Defensive Rookie of the Year.
