Onterrio Smith was the ninth running back selected in April's draft, far behind Willis McGahee and Larry Johnson.
But Smith might be the most important rookie at that position in the NFL.
Same for Pisa Tinoisamoa, the fourth linebacker chosen; and Brandon Lloyd, the 14th wide receiver picked.
While most everyone focuses on the high first-rounders and how much impact they might have during the season, it's often the guys chosen far lower who are bigger factors as rookies....

This is a pretty good question. Which of the Bills rookies will have the largest impacts? :feedback:
I'm think Antonio Brown has a shot to be a big impact player as a returner.
