Doug: Who will stand out to you?

It’s time for you to play the game.

Stick your neck on the line and name your “dog.”

Every year there’s a couple of us in the media who play
scout and after the first weekend of practices you have to
declare who your ROOKIE OF THE TEAM is. We pick a player
to surprise and have the best season. In year one of the
game, I won going away taking Ben Patrick. Last year,
none of us could compete with Yoda who walked away with
the award when LaRod Stephens-Howling was fantastic.

Here are the rules:

1) It has to be a rookie.

2) It can’t be anyone drafted in the first two days of the
draft

The first two days of the draft now encompass the first
three rounds so your pick has to be a rookie free agent or
a 4th-7th round pick. If there’s a tie, the lower draft
pick wins. Obviously, rookie free agents are ranked lower
than the 7th pick so you look better if you stick your
neck out that far. The problem is you’ll lose your
scouting license for one year if your pick doesn’t even
make the team.

You’ve got one day to make your selection in the ROOKIE OF
THE TEAM draft. Tomorrow I’ll reveal my pick and talk to
him for a few minutes so you can get to know him.

On your mark, get set, PICK!

In Carson Palmer I trust

Every $19.95 invention grabbed my attention. If I buy now, I can get my offer doubled. However, this offer is not available in stores! From age 5 to 14, almost every time an ad came on TV with an incredible idea, my dad would say, “If the offer is too good to believe, don’t.” Dad, […]

Great does not make Todd Gurley right for the Arizona Cardinals

A completely healthy Todd Gurley will be a great player in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals should not draft Todd Gurley.
