By Norbert Huszti
Special to sfl-football.com

1.1 - QB Carson Palmer

Palmer had an amazing season for a Rookie QB. As a result, he has received the OROY award.



1.2 - QB Byron Leftwich

As expected not every rookie QB can have a season like Palmer.



1.3 - WR Andre Johnson

Might not be the best Rookie WR performance from his class, but with the 8 received TDs, he was the most productive for his team.



1.4 - QB Rex Grossman

Unlucky Bills? Grossman got injured for the season in the 5th week.



1.5 - RT Brett Williams

Tough season for Williams. Not the easiest to play at RT especially for a Rookie.



1.6 - WR Tyrone Calico

Had a really good season in a really bad team.



1.7 - CB Marcus Trufant

Excellent season for Trufant. Almost 1:1 DFL/CTHA ratio as a Rookie.



1.8 - MLB EJ Henderson

He was int he races for the DROY award. Really solid season for the Rookie.



1.9 - CB Charles Tillman

Not a strong season for Tillman. He needs those AWR points to get to the level of Trufant.



1.10 - WR David Tyree

Really unlucky season for Tyree, who went down with an injury in week 5.



1.11 - CB Nnamdi Asomugha

Another CB and another average performance. Just as Tillman he needs those AWR points.



1.12 - MLB Angelo Crowell

Really good season right out of the gate. Over 100 tackles as an MLB is not that bad at all.



1.13 - WR Jon Olinger

Really solid season for the Rookie despite his low AWR.



1.14 - DE Osi Umenyiora

Umenyiora recorded 8 sacks, good season for the Rookie.



1.15 - DE Ty Warren

Below avarage season for the Rookie. Strong suspicion here that it caused by the low AWR.



1.16 - MLB Nick Barnett

He won the DROY by a mile. Really good performance from the Rookie.



1.17 - OT Kwame Harris

Big talent, with an avarage season. As he progresses he will become better and better.



1.18 - OLB Alonzo Jackson

Top performance from Jackson with 75 TKLs and 14 TFLs.



1.19 - OT Courtney Van Buren

Another tough season for a talented Rookie. As every young player he also in need of some AWR.



1.20 - QB Tony Romo

Not worthy of a first round pick as expected he was sitting ont he bench all season.



1.21 - SS Mike Doss

He played only about half season due to injurty. He will get better.



1.22 - WR Anquan Boldin

Special season for Boldin. Special enough that he was int he race for the OROY award.



1.23 - CB Andre Woolfolk

Probably he played as a Nr.3-4 CB this season, and could not collect a lot of stats.



1.24 - RT Jordan Gross

A stud of the OL class. Only 5 pancakes as an RT is a good performance.



1.25 - HB Musa Smith

Smith was also in the race for the OROY award. Some would argue he could of won it.



1.26 - FS Bryan Scott

Okay performance, his AWR is really low, lot to learn.



1.27 - CB Drayton Florence

Really good performance for the Rookie. He recorded 3 INTs and low amount of CTHA.



1.28 - C Jeff Faine

Another avarage Rookie performance.



1.29 - DE Terrell Suggs

Now I know Suggs is not a first round pick, but to collect 7 sacks in a team who lead the league in TOP is not that bad.



1.30 - MLB Terry Pierce

Good performance from Pierce with almost 100 tackles.



1.31 - WR Bobby Wade

He was Nr.3 on the WR depth chart this season. Leo will start him next year, so his numbers should go up.



1.32 - OLB Boss Bailey

Really good season for Bailey.
