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 (10/20), 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.

Quit being a troll. And if you're going to be one, don't sour other threads around the forum. Instead, it would be a much better idea to stay in the original thread.

Didn't know the award existed, but he deserves it.

Way to go Mayo!

I thought Vernon Gholston would get it for sure. He has such a nice body I don't know how you give it to anyone else.

JSn, where did you get the links for this and Gost? Not that I'm doubting you, I'd just like to see the list.

Edit: Reiss, never mind

Cool to see him get some media credit.

Given Harrison's probable retirement, I'm going to have to get a new blue jersey for home games. It's currently a toss up between Mayo, Mankins, and Wilfork. He certainly seems to be trying to convince me...
