"MONSTERS taking care of the VETS" Geaux SAINTS Rook Safety KENNY VACARRO ends his Big-Time 2013 Campaign on IR but is my #1 Choice for 2013 NFL Defensive ROOK of the Year...the Top 5 ROOKIES for 2013 NFL Defensive Players of the Year...and VETS get your own DONUTS and pay for your own MEALS #NFL2k13TOPRooks

Yes the "Monsters taking care of Vets" are your NFL Rookies and there was a stellar Draft Class on the Defensive Side of the Pig in 2013. The Bills Mafia, Gang Green, Bird Gang, Panthers, and Who Dat didn't miss. The #15 Pick and Saints Rookie Safety Kenny Vacarro had a stellar Rook Campaign as he ended up on IR with a Broken Ankle on Sunday vs the Panthers. The Top 5 Rookies on Sunday in "Monsters taking care of the Vets":

Top 5 NFL Rookies in Order:

1. Kenny Vaccaro SS #GeauxSaints (#15th Pick 1st Rd) 79 Tkls 62 Solo 1 FF 1 INT

The former Hookem' Horns Safety was bringing the wood from Day One as the Saints Staff had to tell him to take it easy in Camp on his own players as that carried over to the whole Saints Unit who needed a "Thumper" aka Mr. Tough Guy. A rare breed a thumper who can also play a nice Center Field. Equally effective in the Box, Blitzing, or in Coverage as he is my 2013 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year as he might be the Saints #1 Player on "D" or its him or Cameron Jordan.

2. Tyrann Mathieu FS #BirdGang (69th Pick 3rd Rd) 68 Tkls 65 Solo 1 FF 2 INT

Yes this LSU Monster was a gamble as most stayed away from him an his past demons might still haunt him. The Man they call the "Honey Badger" was all that in his Rookie Campaign and like Vacarro he too ended on IR with a Torn ACL and MCL. He is a Play maker in every sense of the Word always around the Pig..always and trying to make a ply on the Pig not the Player. The Bluedude is pulling fore the NFL's Toughest Monster under 6' the "Honey Badger" and Big Ups for doing what you had to do to get to your Dream though not finished.

3. Kiko Alonso LB #BillsMafia (46th Pick 2nd Rd) 81 Tkls 64 Solo 2 Red Jersey Collections 4 INT

The Man in the Middle of the 2012 "Quack Attack" Eugene is the "Man in the Middle" of the Bills Mafia. The Bills might not get to the Playoffs or even win the AFC East but they keep a Backer like a True Jordan Head loves his Jordan 11's. A Sideline to Sideline Machine who is equally effective in Pass Coverage as he is filling the A-Gap. What a find for the Bills as they try to make way in the AFC East in 2014.  

4. Sheldon Richardson DT #GangGreen (13th Pick 1st Rd) 76 Tkls 41 Solo 3.5 Red Jersey Collections  1 FF

Not even a year and a half removed from College of Sequoias in California JUCO the St. Louis, Missouri Native by way of a Season at Mizzou has been as good as advertised. He has teamed up with the Jets DT/DE Muhammad Wilkerson to become arguably the best DT Duo on Sunday under 25 years of age. There is a reason Gang Green is still in the Hunt and not because of the QB Geno Smith and that Offense. Reminds me a little of former Gator Gerrard Warren and Bears Tommie Harris.

5. Star Lotulelei DT #PanthersPride (14th Pick 1st Rd) 40 Tkls 30 Solo 2 Red Jersey Collections

The Tackles don't teal you near how affective Lotulelei is as you have to watch the Tape.A premium Run Stopper and he has been a perfect fit for the Panthers as Greg Hardy Red Jersey Collection Total has been headed north. He was a consensus #1 Overall for most of the 2012 College Season out of Runnin' Utes U than a slight Heart Condition had some teams nervous. He is a true Top 5 Pick in any draft and the Panthers get a steal. Panthers 2013 44th pick overall and 2nd Rounder Kawann Short is no slouch either.
