NFL Rookie Players of the Week – Bills’ runner Marshawn Lynch & Redskins’ safety LaRon Landry
Lynch projected as Rookie Impact Performer in May ’07
Excerpt from Draft Insiders Review May ’07 – “The Bills selected twice in the top 34 picks and addressed their two most pressing needs at running back and linebacker. In the 1st round, they drafted runner Marshawn Lynch, a complete tailback with the talent to come in immediately and give this offense a versatile playmaker. He was a fine addition with impact ability this season.�
The NFL ’07 season enters the halfway point with an impressive performance by Bills running back Marshawn Lynch and Redskins safety LaRon Landry. Lynch has rushed for 457 yards and 4 TDs in just 6 games to date that project to over 1200 yards on the full season. He faced the tough Baltimore Raven defense last week and interesting he faced former Bills’ RB Willis McGahee who was traded last winter to Baltimore. His performance helped the struggling Bills to a much needed 16-9 upset win. Lynch ran for 84 yards on 27 carries including a 1 yard TD run late in the 3rd quarter. He also added another 14 yards on 3 receptions from rookie passer Trent Edwards who has started in recent weeks. Edwards completed only 11 of 21 passes for 153 yards with no TDs and 1 interception in a conservative game plan..

NFL Rookies of the Week - Vikings RB Adrian Peterson & Giants CB Aaron Ross
Peterson projected as Top Rookie Impact Performer in May ’07
Excerpt from Draft Insiders Review May ’07 – “The Vikings were surprised that RB Adrian Peterson was available in the first round and quickly selected him. He is a blue chip back with the power to run inside and the speed to hit the home run and was a great addition to this attack. His injured shoulder left some concerns, though he should compete and win the feature back role in camp. He has the makeup to be a major impact performer here if he proves durable over the demanding NFL schedule.�
