Randall Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 What a shock. If Willis doesn't net DROY demand a recount. Adrian Peterson was named Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press. Peterson needed to play in only 14 games and start nine to finish second in the NFL in rushing with 1341 yards. He scored 13 total TDs. Peterson's 5.6 yards per carry average was second behind Jerious Norwood's 6.0 among rushers with more than 100 carries. He led all running backs in 40+ yard runs.

That'll be cool. Did Brett Favre's for my son years back. Went to training camp and he got a football signed by the whole team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturphy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I was soooo bummed on draft day when the Vikes got ADP and the Kittens got CJ. To have to play them twice a year for however long. Ouch. Cheers to Vikings fans for having a guy like ADP on the team. He's a stud. Wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Where did Lynch and Bowe (and whomeever else) finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Where did Lynch and Bowe (and whomeever else) finish? I read that there were only votes for Peterson and Joe Thomas. Thomas got 3.5% of the votes I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 I read that there were only votes for Peterson and Joe Thomas. Thomas got 3.5% of the votes I think. That's what a Cleveland blog says. It looks like Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas will have to play brides' maid to Adrian Peterson. Kind of ironic considering the guy chose to gut some fish on draft day last April instead of wearing a suit. The Vikings Adrian Peterson won the NFL's offensive rookie of the year in a landslide vote. Peterson earned 46 1/2 out of a possible 50 votes, while Cleveland's Thomas got the other 3 1/2 votes. Not that the voting comes as a shock. In fact, there has never been an offensive lineman to ever win the award in the NFL's "modern era" which is considered to be from 1970 to present. However, the fact that Thomas even finished second in the voting is at least a dog biscuit flung in his direction. If you ask me the guy was robbed. With Joe Thomas anchoring the line at left tackle, the Browns won 10 games and helped plow the way for the franchise's second ever back to rush for over 1,300 yards in Jamal Lewis. The other back to do so is, of course, Jim Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to take a pic and send the card off to Beckett to get the autograph authenticated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
