Leggett Chosen by Fellow Players as Chiefs' Rookie of the Year
Chiefs’ awards go to Gonzalez, Leggett

Quote:

Few things involving the Chiefs and their recently concluded 2-14 season could be more expected than tight end Tony Gonzalez being selected as their most valuable player.

Few things could be more of a surprise than the choice of cornerback Maurice Leggett as their rookie of the year.

The Chiefs on Monday announced the winners of their annual postseason awards. They were voted on by Chiefs players and the players will be honored at the annual 101 Banquet on March 7.

Gonzalez was one of the Chiefs’ few bright spots. He had one of the best seasons of his 12-year career, catching 96 passes for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns. Next month he will play in his 10th consecutive Pro Bowl game in Hawaii.

Despite that, Gonzalez had never before been selected as Chiefs MVP.
The Chiefs had four rookie starters this season in cornerbacks Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr, defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey and offensive tackle Branden Albert. But players opted for Leggett, who played mostly on special teams until becoming the third cornerback midway through the season.

Leggett scored a couple of touchdowns, recovering an Oakland fumble and returning it 67 yards in a November victory and intercepting a Denver pass and returning it 27 yards in a December defeat.

To Leggett’s teammates, those plays were apparently more important than steady play from Flowers and Carr and the promise of a bright future from Albert.
Wow. This D may be a pass rusher and a MLB away from turning things around. I know that sounds presumptuous, but with all these great young players, you'd think that pressure on the QB and a real sho 'nuff run stuffer at Mike Backer would make these young DBs really shine. They are sooooo green and yet most of us admit that they excelled in takeaways and are only in their first season. With better Safety play (ahem) and MLB play (ahem) and a Jared Allen-like DE, these young guys will just get better and better. No wonder Herm is so confident.

I think that between FA and the high draft picks (not to mention dealing LJ) this franchise may be able to pull in some key players that will tell the real value of these young studs as they learn the pro game and develop.

Congrats to Tony Gonzalez - WAY overdue award.

I'd have been for Flowers or Albert myself, probably leaning towards Albert. He had a stellar season for a rookie LT, and let's face it, gadget or not our offense was less the problem this season than our defense. That said, Flowers had to be pretty damn amazing as a rookie corner considering our lack of a pass rush...so I dunno...it's a toss up between these two. Legett...awesome story but didn't even start all season...odd pick. The players must know something we don't.

The players also selected Pat Thomas as defensive captain at the start of the season.

They don't appear to be the brightest group of bulbs in the box.

Should I also mention that some WANT to keep Herm around?

I agree, we have some dimwits on the team-that won't keep Johnny from swallowing the Kool-aid, though..

I'd pick Flowers over Albert. While it was obvious why we couldn't run to the right side of the line, why could we not run behind the left side with a pro bowler and a 1st roud draft pick. Albert did ok and I hope he can learn to run block better, but Flowers held his position down in all aspects.

Should be Thigpen and Alberts or Flowers


Thigpen might not be the best player but who can say that he didn't change the course of our season?

Well for one, Thigpen isn't a rookie.

who CHANGED our season more ... Gonzo or Thigpen?


the leggett pick is just silly ... clearly they just picked the biggest surprise. Penalized albert and flowers because they were high draft picks so they expected it.

I would have voted for Flowers followed by Albert. Leggett turned out to be a nice surprise, for sure. But I don't understand how he got voted ROY.

Could just be more poplular with the players in the locker room, too. You never know why they pick who they pick, just that they picked them.
