With my rookie QB nearing the rookie record for yards (he is close but not guaranteed to get it) I thought it would be a good time to look at rookie records and see if any of our 2012 rookies are going to be breaking any records. There are infact a few records within reach. You can take a look at them below.
I also thought it would be a good time to take a look at career milestones and potential 2012 retirees. What big names are we going to be saying goodbye to at the end of the season?
