Vikings Rookies of Year Moss, Harvin, White & Flatley Surprise Jefferson

[Viktor]

Moss: "I always thought it was being in a good situation … being in a good offense and having a [talented] quarterback. But when you look at how the game has evolved and changed, I think it just has to do with the guy that comes in with passion and heart and loves the game. Being able to look at the guys on this panel — Mr. White, Percy, JJ — looking at the passion we have for the game of football … it all shows in our play. At the end of the day, when you're sitting at home reflecting like us older guys on our careers and what we were able to accomplish, being able to win an individual award like [Offensive] Rookie of the Year, you sit back and reflect and look at the guys that were up for that award, it's just something special. When you see that a guy like Justin is coming in and playing with motivation and determination to go out there every play, it's fun to watch as a fan. Just watching from a fan perspective, it's good to watch a young kid coming in … a rookie being able to have success … and making it look easy and having fun doing it. From a fan to a player, man, it's just good to see good football."
