Rookie Watch- Jahvid Best

This season has offered up some exciting rookies that have been worth watching. This blog will cover a rookie who has made an impact for his team and definitely is worth keeping an eye on in the forseeable future. So this week we are covering Jahvid Best.

Jahvid Best is the 5'10"/190 lb rookie running back sensation for the Detroit Lions. Lions picked him as the 30th overall pick out of California in the draft in April. During his time at Cal he set several records including most all purpose yards in a single season. His impact on the Lions was immediate. His first NFL game against the Chicago Bears he had 2 rushing TDs. The next week against the Eagles he duplicated this feat. While he hasnt scored a TD since and has suffered a toe injury that makes him questionable for this week, he will definitely make an impact for the Lions who have been in desperate need of a speedy power back. When he is healthy he will continue to be the sensation and excitement that makes the Lions a team to watch now.
