Top sleeper in 2006 - Jerious Norwood, RB: Many thought last year was the one in which Norwood would breakout, but it turned out to be a three-headed running attack for the Falcons, who led the NFL in that category. Despite two 1,000-yard rushers on the team, though, Norwood was still able to run for over 600 yards, catch for over 100 more and score a pair of touchdowns on the season. When the Falcons failed to trade Dunn away before the season, many didn't believe they'd still get strong numbers out of Norwood, but those aren't bad for someone who touched the ball just 111 times on the year.
Who will surprise in 2007? - Jerious Norwood, RB: Norwood is again the man to look at this season. Warrick Dunn is a resilient back who's lasted longer than most would have given him credit for, but it's going to be Norwood's time soon. He's a tough inside runner who's proven he can break a long run on occasion as well. He'll improve on his 736 total yards from last season for sure.
