makes two of us man

Patrick Willis ran a 4.38 and 4.39 back to freakin' back. Give me a break. He was head and shoulders the best LBer in college.

That's not to disparage Mayo, whom I like a lot. The comparison is that both are great, great character guys. I'd love Mayo with the Pats. Immediate starter. Special teams warrior.

I've seen a lot of Mayo at Tenn. and if you watch the Vol/Florida game you see that once you put a body in front of Mayo, he sticks to the guy like crazy glue.

Now plug in the Ole Miss/LSU game from two years ago and watch Willis eat up everything in his path and destroy the RB, while playing hurt.

They both played in the SEC. That is as close as Mayo ever gets to Willis.

Why wait? Take Mayo at 10.

Hopefully not! If Mayo spends his rookie year chasing ball carriers sideline to sideline and racking up 170 tackles down the field our defense is in trouble!
