Jerod Mayo: NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month

Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo has been named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month.

Mayo, a first-round selection (No. 10 overall) from Tennessee, led the team with 24 tackles in the month as the Patriots posted a 3-1 (.750) record in October.

Overall, Mayo has started all seven games at inside linebacker. The rookie leads the team with 55 tackles and has also added one fumble recovery. Mayo posted his best performance of the month in his first appearance on Monday Night Football against Denver (Oct. 20), registering 11 tackles.

Mayo is the first Patriots player to earn Rookie of the Month honors since wide receiver Deion Branch in September of 2002, and he is the first New England player to win Defensive Rookie of the Month since the league started the award in 1996.

Congrats, Mayo! Keep up the good work! Can you believe this guy is 22 years old? I can't wait to see him 2-3 years from now, when he's really comfortable in this defense.

Good for him.

Very pleased, here. He’s been a beast, and will only get better. This has been a glaring weakness (and never glared more than the 2007 AFC title game). Now I’m feeling good about the future—and Guyton’s been coming on, too.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead

BB and SP made a great pick with this guy.

He has a fantastic future. I know I’m looking forward to watching for years.
