Examples of Rookie in a Sentence

1. Camille Kostek:

   I get just as excited to show up on that set and shoot for that magazine as I did when I was a rookie, it is one of the most honorable things that I do. It goes beyond just posing for the magazine. The women behind the brand, the models within the brand, they're people like I'd never met before. Everyone just shares such a light and a love for wanting to really make waves in this industry, and I really didn't get my big yes until Sports Illustrated.

2. Mac Jones:

   I think he’ll learn it very quickly. A lot of the things he’s doing in New England right now are things he did at Alabama, i think he’ll assimilate faster than any rookie would in a long time, and of course it gets down to this: his accuracy, throwing the football. That’s going to make him the guy.

3. Frederic Vasseur:

   Kevin has performed very well in his return to Formula One and Jolyon is approaching his rookie season in a clear and methodical manner, it’s true that Jolyon had a couple of races where he didn’t deliver as he wanted, equally this is natural in a driver’s first season; he’s learning and making strong progress.

4. Cheri Reed:

   We don't need a rookie in the game right now. Because it's the anti-Christ that we're up against, he's despicable. He's destructive. He's a liar. He's trigger-happy. He's everything that you don't want in a President.

5. Aaron Judge:

   I was happy to get a run on the board, that's all I can really say. The rookie [ Twins pitcher Louie Varland ] was making his debut and kind of had us shut down there for a little bit. He had a good quick pace, working all of his pitches. It [ Judge's home run ] kind of got some stuff going, got this offense going a little bit.
