Jerod Mayo, LB, Tennessee
by Imran Tahir,
1/11/08 Jerod
Mayo has, as expected, entered the NFL Draft. The hard-nosed Mayo led
the SEC in tackles this past season, recording an incredible 62 stops
in his last four games alone! In addition to possessing very good size
at 6’2,” 230 lbs., Mayo is versatile, having played both OLB and ILB
for the Vols, the latter this past season. When Mayo is healthy, he
brings a non-stop motor to the field, and his teammates feed off of his
intensity very well. Indeed, as the focal point of a defense, Mayo can
virtually dominate a game, flustering opposing offensive coordinators
and head coaches in the process. With Mayo, “beauty is in the eye of
the beholder,” and though he almost surely will be selected by the end
of Round 2, good pre-Draft workouts and interviews could propel Mayo
into the tag end of Round 1. My kind of football player!
