Mayo tops defensive rookie class

  • Jerod Mayo won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, with 49 of the 50 votes. Mayo's underrated teammate, undrafted rookie Gary Guyton, did not get the other vote. That went to Injured Bengals LB Keith Rivers, who looked great before Hines Ward broke his jaw at mid-season. It wasn't a great year for rookies but here are a few players the impressed, in no particular order.

    Saints DT Sedrick Ellis and CB Tracy Porter: Two bright spots on a bad defense. Both are long-term keepers.

    Bengals LB Keith Rivers: Similar long-term IDP upside to Mayo. But how did he get the 50th vote while only playing seven games?

    Dolphins DLs Kendall Langford and Philip Merling: Langford may have more long-term potential, but both should be 3-4 mainstays for Miami.

    Chiefs CBs Brandon Carr, Brandon Flowers, and Maurice Leggett: Tough players. High grade earners. They actually should provide Kansas City with a nice based to build from in the secondary. Now if only the team could pressure the quarterback.

    Falcons LB Curtis Lofton: Plug and play starter racked up 94 tackles.

    Cardinals CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Still somewhat raw, but looks like a playmaker.

    Redskins S Chris Horton: A rugged player who was a great find in the seventh round.

    I'm sure I missed some. Tell me what rookie defenders impressed you in the comments.

    Cowboys CB- Orlando Scandrick. Filled in nicely for injured players and started in the nickel. Outplayed his 1st round teammate Jenkins.

    Hi. In the future I'm going to keep here links to their sites. But I do not worry about the sites where my link is removed. So if you do not want to see a mountain of links, simply delete this message. After 2 weeks, I will come back and check.

    Good Day. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level.
