I feel like, maybe in the '90s, 'Rookie' would have been shamed for trying to reach a lot of people or trying to be 'mainstream', but I'm so pleased that our readers are happy to see me promoting the 'Rookie' yearbook on TV or whatever.

Tavi Gevinson

For me, I spent four years at Duke, and I was 22 my rookie year. For a lot of guys, I was old as a rookie, but nothing could prepare me for the NBA, both on the court and off the court.

There are a lot of things that you learn as a rookie and you grow the most, I would say as a rookie from your first year to your second year.

Matt Cassel

Veterans get priority in the training room and better parking, but there is not a whole lot of difference in terms of how they're treated in the competition for playing time. To me it doesn't matter if a guy is a 10-year veteran or a rookie. If the rookie is better, he finds his way onto the field.

Brendan Daly

Going into my rookie year I expect to play well and I expect to win a lot of games.

Joe Burrow

I'd like to win Rookie of the Year.

Jahlil Okafor

Personally, I want to win rookie of the year.

Kevin Knox

Ultimately I want to win. That's my main focus as my rookie year.

Kevin Knox

It's hard to win with rookie quarterbacks, as I know.

Rex Ryan

I'm not big on rookie hazing. I didn't wanna be hazed as a rookie, so I definitely didn't want to do it to others.

Sue Bird

When I was a rookie, I had to shag balls out of the stands. It was my rookie duty.

Brittney Griner

It's an honor to win the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award.

Peter Uihlein

Not all rookie lessons are learned on the hardwood. There are factors like rookie duties and building team camaraderie.

Jordan Clarkson

New sales managers are the forgotten rookie - they were pros at selling, but all of a sudden they're a rookie at management.

Chris Lytle

I would go after any rookie. Any rookie with a lot of hype. I used to do it to Jason Kidd. I would go at him. I'd be like, 'Young fella, you're going to get a rude awakening in the NBA.'
