Re: Why Jairus Byrd Will Win Defensive Player of the Year
 

With our pass rush and his ability to make plays on the ball, I think he has potential for 7 or 8 picks this year... which a sneaky sack total.

It's going to be fun seeing all the ways Ryan is going to use him on the field. He should have a monster IDP season.

Finally a real FS.

Loomis didn't drop all that cash to get an average player.He brought in a elite proven playmaker that will increase our turnover and team with a emerging star in Vaccaro. We have the kind of secondary that can shut down other team passing games. I am really excited about the type of defensive team we can field this year.Byrd no doubt can be a difference maker . The only question I have is he going to be healthy? If he is and the # 2 CB is filled this group should be among the best in the league.

I just hope he can start the season healthy and this injury doesn't linger.

if they stay healthy, they'll be AWESOME!

He's a decent dark horse candidate. It's happened before with Darren Sharper who actually deserved NFL Defensive MVP setting the NFL record for return yds. One could argue you could expect even greater things from Byrd because our pass rush looks better on paper than that year. Greg Williams was no joke as a Defensive Coordinator though. I think Defensive MVP is probably a stretch though. Cam Jordan would be a better candidate to me.
