Factoid
It was clear from the outset that 2009's first-round wideouts had a chance to be special. Week 5 in the NFL helped emphasize that point.
A quick look at the top wide receivers from last week places 5 of the 6 wideouts selected in the first round a year ago among the week's top 20 yardage leaders. Four of those players also scored touchdowns. The only player missing is the first one drafted: Darrius Heyward-Bey.
