Renell Wren......2 start... 8tkls.... 0 sacks

However he was a fourth round pick so it would have been unusual for him to show a lot his rookie season.  Over the last 20 years there have only been 5 Pro Bowl DTs drafted in the 4th round or later.  Kyle Williams was a stud from day one with 11 starts and 53 tackles as a rookie. Here is what the other 4 did their first season

Geno Atkins........1 start...16 tkls..... 3 sacks (to be fair Geno looked better than these stats, but Geno is a freaking HOF level player)
Paul Solaia..........0 start... 4 tkls..... 0 sacks
Malik Jackson......0 start... 5 tkls..... 0 sacks
Mike Daniels........0 start...12 tkls.... 2 sacks


For those of you who do not understand advanced statistical analysis this proves that Wren will be a Pro Bowl player

He felt like a big project like how Marcus Hardison was.
I like his potential, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him not do anything for (at least) another year or two.
