Jerod mayo ran away with the Associated Press 2008 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award today. He was able to get 49 out of the 50 possible votes for the award. Mayo really excelled on a defense that was questionable, at best, for most of the year, by leading the Patriots with 137 tackles. With a lot of players on the Patriots near, or at, the end of their career, it is nice to see a guy that will be here for years to come. Mayo, I think, has a really good chance to be one of the best MLBs in the game. He was able to fit in very fast with a defense that runs one of the more complex schemes in the NFL. I didn't know what to think when they drafted this guy, but it showed once again that Scott Pioli knows what he is doing. Another reason I think he might jump ship on the Patriots this offseason.
