Knowshon Moreno has been working hard all year with the Denver Broncos to help get them to the postseason. While the Broncos came short of that goal, Moreno’s valiant efforts deserve notice as he ran for two touchdowns in this critical game with the Chiefs. The former Georgia star looks poised to be the future of the Bronco backfield and if he can stay injury free, he’ll have Denver competing to make a playoff run in the future.

Honorable mentions go out to Mike Wallace of Pittsburgh who concluded a solid rookie season with 64 yards and a touchdown and Darius Butler of New England who had two tackles and a 91-yard interception for a touchdown. This concluded Upper Deck’s “Rookie of the Week” program. Make sure to use the rookie card tracker to help you put together sets of your favorite rookies this year.
