The best rookie in the NFL is the player who should have been selected #1 in the draft. VY. He is 5-4 as a starter, losing by 1 point to Indy and 1 point to Baltimore. The second best rookie is Marcus McNeil, and it's not even close. If you watch the Chargers, Tomlinson runs left consistently for huge chunks of yardage, and Rivers is hardly touched. The guy is a monster.
