Mark Sanchez (NYJ) is the only rookie who has a chance at being a starter when the season kicks off. You can expect the Jets’ quarterback to play in a ball control style of offense much like Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens.
Miami will use Pal White (MIA) eight to ten times per game, if not more, giving him an opportunity for a touchdown per game whether it’s through the air or ground —possibly even catching a pass from Chad Pennington as well.
Denver draft Knowshon Moreno and new head coach Josh McDaniels. Moreno iaon the top 75 prospects to start the season.
Shonne Greene (NYJ) was very productive last year in college, though his one-sidedness puts his rookie potential into question. Andre Brown of the New York Giants rans a sub 4.4 forty at the combine and will be replacing Derrick Ward behind NY’s great offensive line.
Michael Crabtree (SF) lacks a trustworthy quarterback right now, but he will be working opposite Isaac Bruce. Jeremy Maclin and Percy Harvin received warm welcomes form Philadelphia and Minnesota, respectively. Whether it’s in the receiving, running, returning, or even the wildcat, Maclin will score touchdowns this year. Harvin will be used in many of the same ways Maclin will be, maybe in an even more diverse setting. Teams are starting to stack the box against the Vikings, which will give Harvin plenty of space to work.
The New York Giants drafted a very NFL-ready receiver in Hakeem Nicks and a project of sorts in Ramses Barden. Nicks is the best receiver on the New York squad, and he should consume a lot of yards and catches with decent touchdown production. Barden has great jump ball potential in the end zone and he should have a high YPC with limited receptions.
Miami made an interesting selection in the third round with Patrick Turner out of USC. Expect Turner to be used in an H-back role where the accurate Pennington can exploit him in mismatches. Chicago made the big offseason trade for Jay Cutler, and in the third round they added to his arsenal with Joaquin Iglesias. This could be a very productive pick for Chicago. Iglesias has plenty of experience and Cutler has proven success with rookie receivers.
With Daunte Culpepper under center in Detroit, Brandon Pettigrew will have plenty of opportunities to get big and make a first down, or touchdown catch. The New York Giants seem happy with Kevin Boss, but his stats may take a hit with the addition of Travis Beckum. Considered an H-back in the NFL, Beckum may produce a touchdown here and there but nothing draft worthy.
