The rookie football class of 2008 has given some new life to the NFL and potentially great players to watch for decades. From a fantasy football perspective a few players really stick out in this rookie class that will help propell your team to a potential championship, in addition, offer great rookie cards that will skyrocket in value.

One player that immediately jumps out at you in this year's class that is flying under the radar is Titans rookie running back Chris Johnson . This rookie displays all the necessary ingredients to be a nfl superstar. In his first 6 games he has compiled over 540 yards rushing and 3 tds, while sharing time with Lendale White in the backfield. One reason that Chris Johnson is going un-noticed is that he played his college ball at ECU. East Carolina is not necessarily the hotbed for NFL talent, but in this case this rookie has the potential to be a prominent player in the NFL for years to come.
