He deserved it

[HustlinOwl]

Defensive rookie class sucked this year

Defensive rookie class sucked this year

That's the truth. I couldn't even think of anyone else to give it to.

[Cigaro]

Still think the Pats could have traded down and still grabbed him...

[Jumpman23]

i cant think of any other defensive rookies, Lamarr Woodley could have possibly gotten it.

[Juggernaut]

No suprise there, no one did half as good


and lamarr woodley wasn't a rookie this year...

[dlips]

Yea Woodley was a soph. I didnt hear all that much about Mayo this year but looking at the stats, it seems like he was a no-brainer for the award with Chris Horton being the only other person who really comes to mind. I know Chris Long had an alright season and Gholston was nowehere to be found, how did Dorsey do for KC?

[Matt1]

Dorsey was terrible

Mayo FTW

[Cudi]

Well deserving although I would have liked to see Chris Horton get it. He had a great year as well

[kyhadley]

how did Dorsey do for KC?

lol, when I went to go search for Dorsey's stats, and typed Glenn Dorsey, one of the options that came up in the google search bar was "Glenn Dorsey Bust"...

and yay Mayo

[Kwon]

Glenn dorsey wasnt terrible, its just that he played for KC. Kc has many young players with talent that you never hear about because they play for kc. Dwayne bowe, dorsey, flowers, johnson, thigpen, bradley, just to name a few.

[Matt1]

there run defense was terrible, im not blaming Dorsey but he was brought in to help in that area. I guess he needs more time to develop. Bowe is a star and thigpen deserves the QB job i hope they play well next year

[Juggernaut]

Landon Johnson plays for carolina, not KC

Overall, i think KC will have it's thing going in about 3-4 years when their young guys are better. Dorsey should get better once he adjusts to the better offensive lines.

lol Dorsey has never been a run stuffer, yet they play him at the nose.

Kansas City has a lot of young guys, and once they gain experience and start to develop, they could become a solid team.

I'm not sure of the exact number, but I'm pretty sure Kansas City had a combined total of 22 rookie and sophmore players on their team.
