Other good rookies:

I know a lot of people do not know who he is, but Marcus McNeal of San Diego is an awesome rookie. Starts at left tackle and is a beast.

AJ Hawk has been great for Green Bay.

wrong board

Duh,

Also left out Maurie Jones-Drew; Leinart has been solid...

Awesome rookie class.

Gosh, this a very good question. Colston was mine until he got hurt and now I really don't know. And it would be very hard to give it to McNeal simply because like you said, not many know him. I don't think Hester gets it because he really only effects the game when teams kick it to him.

So, I will say Vince Young because he has turned the Titans around to a spoiler and a team that noone in the NFL really wants to play. It also doesn't hurt that they have one of the best coaches in the NFL in Jeff Fisher

Colston or Young...

**halfback20** · Dec 12, 06, 01:16 PM

Kiwanuka has been solid for the G-Men...well when he's not letting QB's out of his arms on 4th down or dropping INTS

. Seriously, he has 4 sacks in like 5 starts, with 2 INTS as well.

**HHSDad** · Dec 12, 06, 01:19 PM

Colston, Jones-Drew or Bush

**5wide** · Dec 12, 06, 01:19 PM

Reggie Bush

**HammerTime** · Dec 12, 06, 01:19 PM

Hester.

**SvFan4life** · Dec 12, 06, 01:21 PM

Colston or Bush.

Maybe co-ROY's.

Couldn't have one without the other.

That CO-ROY would be a very interesting prospect.....

**OldRaider22** · Dec 12, 06, 01:35 PM

IMO Bush will get it because of the name, the draw, etc. However, I think Colston is the most deserving, in terms of consistency throughout the season. Vince and Reggie sure did pick a good time to start playing well though. Don't they do offensive and defensive ROY? Or am I mistaken?

Bush has been playing pretty good all year...and I must ask this question in regards to Bush and Colston...do you think Bush has benefitted more from Colston's presence, or vice-versa?

If I had to rank the prospects in order, here's what I'd say...

1. Reggie Bush
2. Maurice Jones-Drew
3. Vince Young

4. Marques Colston
(tie) Devin Hester

**NEERFAN** · Dec 12, 06, 01:41 PM

Colston's injury didn't help him, it should be a tight vote, Drew has been solid all season long, Young and Bush are playing very well right now, Hester doesn't get many touches but when he does he's electric.

**TheDeuce** · Dec 12, 06, 01:42 PM

Vince Young.

I don't mean this as criticism, but isn't that like saying a quarterback benefits from his receivers and vice-versa or a running back benefits from his OL? My only point is that no football player is an island. How well you play often depends on your teammates.
