Taliese Fuaga delivered on the hype in his New Orleans Saints debut. He was ESPN's best rookie offensive tackle in pass protection from Week 1's games -- ESPN sports analytics writer Seth Walder shared the pass block win rates for each of this year's rookie starters, and Fuaga was head-and-shoulders above the rest.

Here's where they ranked after Week 1 among the 60 starting offensive tackles:

1. Taliese Fuaga, 94% (15th)

2. Tyler Guyton, 84% (36th)

3. Joe Alt, 79% (48th)

4. Kingsley Suamataia, 69% (57th)

5. J.C. Latham, 65% (59th)

Now there's an important caveat here we should note; Week 1 isn't over at the time of writing, with the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers kicking off on Monday night. But the only rookie offensive tackle competing in that game is Olu Fashanu, who isn't starting for the Jets. Still, it's likely that guys like Trent Williams and Morgan Moses could push Fuaga down the standings a little bit.

Either way, he's immediately set high standards for himself. And we should remember that Fuaga is doing all of this at left tackle after exclusively lining up on the right side at Oregon State. He was fouled for a weak holding call against the Panthers but he's known for not making the same mistake twice, and that was really the only big blemish on his first game as a pro. The sky's the limit for what he can achieve moving forward.
