No question that Deuce was great, but I think he was asking who was a #1 that actually had a standout rookie year, made an impact as a rookie. Deuce took a while to shine, if I recall correctly.

As far as the last time it happened, I'd say Reggie off the top of my head, BUT, then I'd also launch into the whole thing of Reggie was more like a decoy in his first year or two, a threat that people had to game plan for, blah blah blah, and then we'd have a 7 or 8 page thread about THAT and I don't feel like having that conversation right now. But the fact that people on other teams were kinda scared of him, right out the gate, that was real and I think it made an impact. Jamal Brown is another good one.
