    MMQB Mailbag: 10 rookies who've impressed; Cowboys video fallout

    Follow Peter King on Twitt


    You guys are all fired up over the Dallas Cowboys videoboard, and we'll get to that. But first, Tim of Modesto, Calif., has a question about rookies:
    "Glen Coffee looks like the unquestioned steal of the draft up to this point (granted the season hasn't started). Is he the most impressive rookie you've seen three weeks into training camp? If not, who is?''
    I love Coffee, the first real good backup the 49ers have had for Frank Gore, who has a long injury history. Here are the 10 rookies I've seen who've impressed me in the preseason:
    1. Percy Harvin, WR/KR, Minnesota (22nd pick). Impact player beginning opening day.
    2. Glen Coffee, RB, San Francisco (74th pick). Nice burst, reliable, excellent Gore insurance.
    3. James Laurinaitis, LB, St. Louis (35th pick). Took over starting mike 'backer job after three pro practices.
    4. Ziggy Hood, DL, Pittsburgh (32nd pick). The next Casey Hampton, with some pass-rush ability.
    5. Alphonso Smith, CB, Denver (37th pick). Faces tremendous pressure if Broncos have a bad year because Denver gave up next year's first-rounder to get him.
    6. LeSean McCoy, RB, Philadelphia (53rd pick). Has picked up the blocking and receiving parts of the Philly offense quickly.
    7. Julian Edelman, WR/all-purpose, New England (232nd pick). Could be Wes Welker. Could be a wildcat QB.
    8. Nic Harris, LB, Buffalo (147th pick). Could be special-teams demon while waiting for a defensive role.
    9. Austin Collie, WR, Indianapolis (127th pick). Could play 20 snaps as Manning's slot receiver opening day.
    10. Stefan Logan, RB/KR, Pittsburgh (undrafted). Said it Monday: Steelers have to find a roster spot for this return man.

        How did McCoy make the list? 15 carried for 59 yards, 0 TD

        Hell Harvin has 2 catches for only 9 total yards.

        King is playing towards his draft favorites.
        COMING SOON...

          He's also been to a bunch of camps and talked to a bunch of people - I don't like to defend Shirley, but he is going on a lot more than preseason game performance.
