Week # 16 and 17: Topps NFL Rookies of the Week

Chargers running back Ryan Mathews looked strong in a week 16 matchup with the Bengals, totaling a career-high 83 yards from scrimmage and notching his fourth touchdown of the season. The Fresno State product reminded many why he was the No. 12 pick in this year's draft with an average of 4.6 yards-per-carry boosted by a 23-yard dash to the end zone.


Jets running back Joe McKnight erupted for 158 yards on 32 carries in a week 17 rout of the Buffalo Bills. It was a redemptive performance for the fourth-round pick out of USC, who had struggled during the team’s minicamp and spent much of the regular season relegated to special teams duty. His 158 yards were the most by a Jets rookie since the 1964 season.

Week # 15: Topps NFL Rookie of the Week

Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow made a splash in his Week 15 starting debut, notching scores with both his arm and his legs while nearly rallying Denver to an upset victory in Oakland. The former Gator legend threw for 138 yards and ran for 78 more on just eight carries, including an electrifying 40-yard scamper to paydirt.

A second-round pick, Gerhart displayed the punishing style that made him Stanford's all-time career touchdowns leader, pacing Minnesota's victory in Washington with 76 yards and his first NFL score..

The 42nd overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft has reached pay dirt six times this season, while displaying the highlight-reel grabs that made him the most accomplished tight end in Arizona Wildcat’s history.

New Orleans running back Chris Ivory turned some heads filling in as a starter in Week 6, dashing to 175 yards from scrimmage paced by 10.5 yards-per-carry during a rout of Tampa Bay.
An undrafted fee agent out of Division II Tiffin University, the powerful 22-year-old had the Buccaneers on their heels all afternoon and was impressive enough to ensure more time in the Saints' backfield going forward.

Week #5: Topps NFL Rookie of the Week

Cardinals QB Max Hall's first career start was a triumphant one in Week 5, as he injected some much-needed life into a struggling team and rallied them to an upset over the Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints.

The undrafted BYU product showed toughness and poise as he completed a solid 63 percent of his passes, entrenching his spot as the starting signal-caller in Arizona.

Week #4: Topps NFL Rookie of the Week

Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford had the best performance of his brief career in Week 4, chucking for 289 yards and two scores en route to a convincing victory over the Seahawks.
