The 2010 rookie class has been performing extremely well and to the point where no rookie had their stock fall this week. Here are this week's top performers.
Jahvid Best
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, you already know why Jahvid Best is at the top of this list. He accumulated 232 yards from scrimmage and added three touchdowns as the Lions lost a close one to the visiting Eagles. The former Cal Golden Bear has the speed and acceleration to cripple opposing defenses when he finds some open field. He isn’t Chris Johnson, but has the physical ability to get to that level eventually.
Sean Weatherspoon
The former Missouri Tiger was close to being on this list last week but I wanted to wait and see if he could put up big numbers for a second week in a row. Sean didn’t dissapoint. He currently leads the Falcons in tackles with 17 (15 of which are solos) and also recorded a sack in the 41-7 beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals. He is a big reason why Atlanta’s defence has only allowed an average of 8 points per game in regulation this season.
Mike Williams
Williams was a guy a lot of teams passed on because of off the field issues. Josh Freeman must be ecstatic that the Bucs took a chance on him. He has scored two touchdowns in as many weeks and is by far Freeman’s favourite target (over 30% of his attempts have been thrown Williams’ way). Freeman looks like he is coming into his own. It’s still early, but these two young guns could become an elite passing duo in the near future.
The on-deck circle
My dad always said “once is lucky, twice is good”. These guys need another solid performance to crack the rookie watch:
