I'm going to say Sam Bradford.  The kid has the makings of an elite quarterback.

Defensive Rookie - Ndamukong Suh was a beast this year and he is onl going to get better!!!!

Offensive Rookie - Sam Bradford looks to be the real deal.

Honorable Mention - Dez Bryant impressed the hell out of me!!!!!

Ndamukong Suh (had to look that one up) is my winner.  He is a great player and the Lions were in short supply of them.

I am not sure I can limit it to one rookie, though if I did, it would have to be a man named Suh.

Defensive Co-ROY's:  Lions DT Ndamukong Suh and Chiefs Safety Eric Berry
Offensive Co-ROY's"  Rams QB Sam Bradford and Steelers Center Maurkice Pouncey

One other random rookie thought:

There were a lot of fans who were praying that Miami (or SF, in my case) would take one of the three perceived blue chip DBs available in round one...and they would have hit on any of the three, as Eric Berry, Joe Haden and Earl Thomas all delivered outstanding rookie seasons.

You might consider this a homer pick, but my vote for ROY is Devin McCourty.

Not at all...McCourty had an excellent rookie season. Any time you can come into the NFL as a rookie DB, go to the best team in the league...and immediately become their best pass defender, you're doing something special.

So many good rookies in the 2010 class...and I think this year's crop looks damned near as good, albeit in different areas. With all the picks NE has in the first 3 rounds (6 of them) this year, and the organization's track record with finding "talent that fits" in the draft, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the AFC East's chances of knocking the Patsies off their throne any time soon.

Tough choice between Bradford and Suh.  Both had huge expectations coming in, and actually living up to those is a big part of the evaluation; I give more credit to a player who comes in with the expectations of carrying the franchise (and doing it) than I do to a player who is expected to merely be a warm body and outplays expectations.

Ultimately, I'll probably play the quarterback card and pick Bradford, though if Suh had made that extra point against the Jets (which likely would have given DET the win), he'd be first.
