Re: Jerod Mayo's younger brother to enter the draft
He's a ST'er for NE, unless BB wanted to try him at SS. Possible 7th, but more likely a UDFA. The NY Daily News article on him was pretty good.

Re: Jerod Mayo's younger brother to enter the draft
I've read about him before. Supposedly his vertical is off the charts--well over 40 inches. Jerod is a pretty good athlete in his own right, so if he says that his younger brother is the best athlete in the family, that impresses me. The one thing that stands heavily in Deron's favor is that his brother knows the playbook as well as the coaches by this point. He would come into the season with a significant head start on other similar prospects.
What's not to like in the late rounds? Special teams dominance, can possibly play the linebacker/safety hybrid that BB has tinkered with in the past, and has a heck of a role model and mentor in his older brother.

I've seen 36.5 for his VJ. OTOH, he has a 4.37 in the 40 , and a short shuttle of 4.12.

The 6-foot-2, 229-pound former defensive end will be trying to make it in the NFL as a linebacker.
Actually he measured in at:
Height: 5111 Weight: 218
He's also listed as an OLB/SS candidate. Obviously, he'll need to earn his roster spot on ST. What's encouraging here is, he knows ST will be his ticket:
Quote:
"I think I've got some really good special-teams film," he said. "I'll do anything to get on a football team. I think I could be an inside linebacker. I've been working on safety, too."
Quote:
"I'm facing a big challenge, but I'm never going to doubt myself. I'll be the first in line. I'll run through walls. Just be better than the next guy."

Re: Jerod Mayo's younger brother to enter the draft
Priority UDFA? Why not. He need to get bigger, a lot bigger if he wants to play LB for the Pats but that athleticism is impressive and could be useful as a ST gunner if nothing else. Problem is that the special teams slots are limited so he would have to be outstanding in that category. Big brother taking him under his wing might help his development though so who knows. *shrugs* Would be an interesting story. Stash him on the PS and let him develop more?

Or maybe they could use him in place of Arrington as a DE (he's bigger and faster ). . . .
