Earlier, we looked at the this season. Now, we flip the script to the rookies who have struggled to make an impact in their first season. Here are the rookies who have not met expectations:Cardinals OT D.J. HumphriesPick: Round 1, pick 24College: FloridaMuch was expected of Humphries when the selected him in the first round of the NFL draft. I thought he was the most gifted offensive Vincent Rey Jersey  lineman in the entire draft. However, he's been a healthy scratch for the entire season. Humphries struggled big time in training camp and in preseason contests, which led the to eliminate him from their plan for the 2015 campaign. This could end up being a good thing for his overall development. He's been afforded time to sit and learn the nuisances of the position without the scars of getting beat on Sundays. Browns OL Cameron ErvingPick: Round 1, pick 19College: Florida State Erving struggled mightily when inserted into the lineup in the middle of the season. He played tackle and center at Florida State, but his opportunity came at guard this season. He was clearly uncomfortable with the a signment and he struggled ... mightily. He played way too high and struggled to anchor down in pa s protection. After two games in the starting lineup, the pulled him and it looks as though he won't see any more significant action until 2016. Chargers RB Melvin GordonPick: Round 1, pick 15College: Wisconsin Gordon was considered a legitimate Rookie of the Year candidate before the season launched. He put up monster numbers at Wisconsin, and he's a very explosive talent. However, he has yet to get comfortable playing in the ' offense. He's only averaging 3.6 yards per carry and he's yet to score a touchdown. He's also had i sues with ball security, fumbling six times (four lost). Browns DL Danny SheltonPick: Round 1, pick 12College: Washington Shelton hasn't played terribly, but he's failed to make a big impact on a woeful Cleveland defense. He can stack and hold blocks at the line of scrimmage, but he hasn't been nearly as productive as I expected. Through 13 games, he's only notched 26 combined tackles and he's yet to record a sack. I believe he'd be best served to drop some weight in the offseason and recover some of the quickne s he showed at the University of Washington.All of the injured guys DE Pick: Round 1, pick 3College: Florida WR Pick: Round 1, pick 7College: West Virginia WR Pick: Round 1, pick2 26College: Central Florida of the featured several players who mi sed their rookie campaign due to injury. Obviously, this wasn't something they could control but it was disappointing nonethele s. I expect several of these players to have a big impact in 2016.
