Prior to the NFL draft where the St. Louis Rams selected Chris Long as their second overall pick, HUMMER named long as the “Top Rookie” for 2008. The honor comes with benefits: the keys to a brand new 2008 HUMMER H2.
Long received the keys on April 25th during a ceremony in Times Square. This is the third consecutive year that HUMMER has honored a player that it feels is ‘Like Nothing Else.”
“Chris Long is a rookie who truly exemplifies the spirit of HUMMER,” said Martin Walsh, general manager for HUMMER. “Not only does he showcase talent and courage on the gridiron, but he equally exhibits strong character off of the field, a perfect match for the HUMMER brand.”
The two previous NFL draft recipients of HUMMER vehicles were Brady Quinn in 2007, and Reggie Bush in 2006.
