LT number 3 rookie season

Gregorio : 7/5/2015 9:23 am

The NFL network today ran a show of the top 10 rookie seasons. LT came in at number 3 over Gale Sayers (whose highlights always blow me away). Watching this makes one appreciate just how special he was. Giants fans were truly blessed to have LT. To think, the Giants had the foresight to pick a linebacker in the first round of the ‘81 draft. The audacity! Amazing.

Who were the first 2? Â

I'm guessing Marino and Randy Moss were 1 and 2.

It says LT is #4 Â

Top 4:

Eric Dickerson
Night Train Lane
Gale Sayers
LT

Marino and Moss are both in the top 10

Not sure if Gregorio got it wrong, or if Ira's link is a prior version Â

but that video has LT 4 and Sayers 3. Night Train Lane was 2 and Dickerson was #1.

The list that Ira linkked to above Â

Gregorio : 7/5/2015 1:26 pm : link

is a different list. The show I saw this morning had Adrian Peterson at 10, Marino at either 9 or 8, Sayers at 4, LT at 3 and Randy Moss at 1.

Odell Beckham should be up there Â

The link that Ira provided ..... Â

short lease : 7/6/2015 3:36 am : link

has multiple lists on it. There is one called "most heart breaking losses of all time". The Giants are on that list twice (both were victories for the Giants).

Sayers should have been #1 Â

LT #2.
