N.O.

51 is a combination of teams 47 and 65. Those teams had their rookie year many, many years ago. 51 is a HoF team (47 won a Chairman's, and was a force to be reckoned with in the 90s), and has a National Championship under their belt (2003 or before--can't remember when 65 won it).

If 51 is considered a 2010 rookie, then 23 is a 2012 rookie, though they are returning after a 12-year hiatus.
