PFF Names Ivan Pace Jr. to 2023 NFL All-Rookie Team
In this story:
CINCINNATI — Ivan Pace Jr. just wrapped up a fantastic 2023 rookie season in the NFL, earning a spot on the PFF 2023 All-Rookie team.
Pace posted 102 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one interception across 16 games.
"One of two undrafted players on this list, Pace has been the perfect fit for Brian Flores’ defense in Minnesota," Dalton Wasserman wrote. "His 77.2 overall PFF grade leads all qualified rookie linebackers and ranks 17th in the league. Pace’s trademark blitzing ability has carried over from his days at the University of Cincinnati. His 22.9% pass-rush win rate is the second highest among 85 linebackers with at least 20 pass-rush snaps this season."
Pace earned a starting role entering this offseason as he looks to keep building on this run and earn a big second NFL contract with more great seasons.
