So you ask, who will get the 2008 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award? I think the best bet is to go with Chicago's running back Matt Forte for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award for 2008.  All the Bears do is run the ball plus if starting running back Cedric Benson doesn't get it done or get's hurt, Forte will get more carries.  Plus he will push Benson for the starting job.

Darren McFadden Oakland -  On June 5th Running back Darren McFadden reached a six-year, $60 million agreement with Oakland Raiders that includes $26 million guaranteed.  The No. 4 overall pick will get his share of carries this year, including out of the backfield.  He was the most talented player in college, but this is the NFL.  The oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently set Darren McFadden 3/1 Odds to win the 2008-2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Jonathan Stewart Carolina -  Out Of Oregon he was drafted to become the next Stephin Davis.  But will he deliver?  He is going to team up with third year tailback DeAngelo Williams to help Carolina's running game.  Stewart averaged 28.7 yards per kick off return at Oregon and returned two to the house, and he did all that while also serving as the starting running back.  The oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently set Jonathan Stewart 13/2 Odds to win the 2008-2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Matt Ryan Atlanta -  Ryan became the second top draft choice to sign when he accepted a six-year, $72 million contract that included $34.75 million in guarantees.  Matt is now the third highest paid QB in the NFL.  Do you think he deserve this?  He's only behind Rothlisberger and Manning, ahead of Brady.  Last time I checked Joey Harrington looked great in college too, but now look at him.  The state of the franchise depends on Ryan, who is the highest drafted Boston College player ever.  The oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com  currently set Matt Ryan 12/1 Odds to win the 2008-2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Kevin Smith Detroit -  Smith was a third round pick this year, he also threatened Barry Sanders college rushing record at Central Florida last year.  The coaching staff is very confident he can be very productive against NFL competition.  He is a tough runner with great vision.  The oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently set Kevin Smith 6/1 Odds to win the 2008-2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Matt Forte Chicago - He will be a work horse for this team with the running game.  He has enough speed to get to the outside, and he has the ability to make people miss at the second level.  These are areas Chicago needs because they didn't have the consistency before, that is why they are so easy to defend.  He is a good fit for a power running game and catches well.  The oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently set Matt Forte 6/1 Odds to win the 2008-2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
