Top 10 NFL Rookies in 2009

 
This is a list of the top ten rookies in the NFL for this year. This list is based on the potential playing time, and the systems in which they are placed into. Some positions are more favorable for rookies, therefore some of the more sexy position players may not be at the top of the list. Usually defensive players are more effective as rookies, and I took that into account when creating this list. The NFL usually only has a few rookies each year that burst onto the scene. It is hard to figure out who will shine and who will even get any playing time. It wouldn't surprise me to look back on this list after the season is over with and laugh at most of them. Anyway, lets take a look at the top 10. (link)
