NFL rookies hit-and-miss proposition
BY DAVE GOLDBERG
Mario Williams got his first sack in his fourth game. Reggie Bush is a ''disappointment'' in New Orleans because he's only been good, not great.
Vince Young is, predictably, struggling on a bad team. Matt Leinart gets his first start today and, like most young quarterbacks, is likely to have problems.
So much for high-profile rookies in the first quarter of the 2006 season. Better to drop all the way to the bottom of the draft for Marques Colston, Bush's teammate with the Saints.
Taken 252nd in the draft, fourth from last, the 6-4, 231-pound Colston ranks sixth in the NFL with 336 yards receiving on 20 receptions, pretty elite company for a seventh-round rookie from Hofstra. Full Story - Sun Times.
