The 2 offensive rookies who didn't quite make the cut are RB Dale Davis, Arizona and RB Charlie Shanks, San Antonio. They both had good seasons but I felt they were the 4th and 5th best options for skill guys and their lack of TDs (3 each) was the main factor. If anyone disagrees, you can write in any name you wish.

Defensive rookies who missed the cut:

Pete Swain DE Honolulu 18 tackles, 2 sacks 31 hurries. His 31 hurries led the league, but lack of sacks and tackles found him off the list.

Richard Alcantra MLB San Jose had 87 tackles but 0 INT and 63.6 catch %

Leif A. Mark MLB Arizona had 61 tackles and a low 45.5 % catch allowed but had 0 INT

There were many deserving DBs left off like Harley, Talib, Gallegos, Russell, Pascale, Deleon, Rice and Sermons.

Jerry Hyder is also a close contender with
81 tkl- 2 sacks-3 hurries- 14 KDs and one interception but a massive 66% . It's rare that I start a rookie for the full year but boy he did not let me down!
Last time I started a rookie all year was Loyd England and he also did an amazing job.
