It is hard to imagine the 2003 class of rookies not eventually taking over the top spot on this list. Many of the standouts from this class are in the prime of their careers, still building their eventual Hall of Fame legacies.?
The NFL, NHL and NBA drafts from ?03 are already among the top five of all time for each league.
MLB (40, 2x MVP, 1x CY):?2012 Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera would make it to Cooperstown if he never got another hit. Chase Utley, Jose Reyes and Mark Teixeira still have time to build their cases for eventual induction into MLB's Hall of Fame.
Notables: Utley (8), Cabrera (7, 1x MVP), Justin Morneau (4, 1x MVP), Reyes (4), Brandon Webb (3, 1x CY), and Mark Teixeira (2).
NFL (91): An absolutely loaded year for first-year NFL players, many of whom are still adding to their Pro Bowl resumes. As many as 10 players from the 2003 class could someday end up in Canton, including undrafted free agents Antonio Gates and Tony Romo.?
Notables: Jason Witten (8), Gates (8), Lance Briggs (7), Troy Polamalu (7), Andre Johnson (6), Kevin Williams (6), Robert Mathis (5), Terrell Suggs (5), Asante Samuel (4), Anquan Boldin (3), Tony Romo (3), Willis McGahee (2), Carson Palmer (2) and Charles Tillman (2).?
NBA (30, 3x MVP): If the 1984 class currently holds the crown for best draft ever, the 2003 group is giving it a run for its money.?
The careers of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade are on Hall of Fame trajectories. James is threatening to unseat Michael Jordan as the greatest NBA player of all time.
Notables: LeBron (8, 3x MVP), Wade (8), Bosh (7), Anthony (5) and David West (2).
NHL (20, 1 x MVP): The 2003 class lacks the number of players with multiple All-Star game appearances that some would expect, but that will soon change. Current NHL stars like Ryan Suter, Jeff Carter, Dustin Brown and Zach Parise are why some already consider this the best draft class in NHL history.?
Notables: Corey Perry (4, 1x MVP), Eric Staal (4), Dion Phaneuf (3), Shea Weber (3), Dustin Byfuglien (2), Ryan Getzlaf (2) and Thomas Vanek (2).
