There seem to be an unusually high number of rookie RBs making themselves known this season. Who will emerge as the rookie RB of the year?

Reggie Bush - NO, Saints
Maurice Drew-Jones - Jac, Jags
Lawrence Maroney - NE, Pats
Leon Washington - NY, Jets
Wali Lundy - Hou, Texans
Joseph Addai - Indy, Colts


Lundy and Addai both helped rush their respective teams to victories yesterday. However Leon Washington was the break-out back of the day! The rookie from Florida State had his best game as a pro with 129 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. The 5-foot-8, 202-pounder provided much of the flash, dash and muscle behind the Jets' 221-yard rushing effort, their best since Dec. 19, 2004.(Journal News)

what about Deangelo Williams? Maroney is by far the best of the rookie backs. Reggie is by far the most overrated
