What a wonderful surprise the 2008 NFL rookie crop has been up to the end of week 2. We have two starting quarterbacks in Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco, Matt Forte, Jonathan Stewart, Felix Jones, Darren McFadden and Chris Johnson have been exciting from the opening kick-off. DeSean Jackson started the year off with two 100 yard games. Only one other in NFL history has done that and it was NOT Jerry Rice or Randy Moss. This is only a small sampling of the youth movement in the NFL. At this point last year we were looking for ANY rookie to come along. While Adrian Peterson did come along (thank goodness) to salvage the year, this year has gotten off to a red-hot start a la 2006.
I always recommend looking at products that are loaded with rookies when buying in a rookie-plethora year like this one. Everyone always buys Topps Chrome at this time, and they better! It is heating up fast. But don't forget wonderful others like regular base Topps (buy jumbo boxes!), base Upper Deck, Bowman Sterling and Score. While huge hits may be a bit tougher to uncover in these, they will always bring you value with rookies. And we all know what sells-----rookies!
Have fun collecting this football year!
