Offensive R.O.Y.: Jahvid Best. He could be the next Chris Johnson. He has the moves, the size, and most importantly, the speed. He is also in a perfect situation to succeed. He most likely will be the second back in behind former UCF standout, Kevin Smith. Smith is a big bruising back and bringing in Best will be a great change of pace and should catch plenty of defenders off guard. The Detroit Lions will also be playing with second year QB, Matthew Stafford who will be heavily dependant on his running game as well. Jahvid Best is also expected to be used heavily in the return game as well. With his game breaking skills and numerous opportunities look for him to be on ESPN weekly.
Other Key Candidates: Dez Bryant, Dallas; Ryan Mathews, San Diego; Jermain Gresham, Cincinnati.
Defensive R.O.Y.: Eric Berry. College football's best defensive player last year is poised to continue his success into the NFL ranks. Berry is a big time hitter with great athleticism too. He has all the attributes that you can not teach in a safety. He can be the ball hawk needed for today's air it out passing games, or he can come up and stuff the run as good as a linebacker. He is also on a team that will be giving up some big plays, so he will have ample opportunities to make plays himself.
Other Key Canidates: Derrick Morgan, Tennessee; Major Wright, Chicago.
