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
I know this is somewhat tongue in cheek, but if Atkins and Reader can show him some things he may pan out to be a better than average player.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
