Jairus Byrd, DROY

What a ballhawk

6 INT's in the past three weeks. 7 INT's past four weeks. 7 INT's on the season.

The NFL record is 14 by Night Train Lane in his rookie year.

balllinnnnnnnnnnn

man i wanted Jairus Byrd too!! Oh well

Wow, I thought TO was the only player in Buffalo because I haven't heard this story covered at all this year. Great start by Byrd, wish he was a Niner cuz we'll need him with Clements being out.

Just got to give a shout out to Jairus Byrd, the Bills rookie safety out of Oregon... 7 interceptions in his last 4 games... that's insane. He never had less than five interceptions in a year at Oregon, and has carried his ball hawking abilities into the NFL.

heh good call crzy
i guess like his interceptions, these threads tend to come in twos

[lock/merge]

I disagree, Brian Cushing will get this award.

I'm shocked its been so long and no1 has since tied that record of 14ints.... I remember some seasons ago Ronde Barber had 10 int, but has anyone had 12 lately?

I don't have a clue about the rookies this year, but Byrd is certainly one guy I keep hearing about...

Also to add Dick "Night Train" Lane had those 14 picks in a 12 game season, amazing.

The Bills rank 26th in pass defense, 32nd in rush defense and Byrd is 10th on the team in tackles. Yes, he has a nose for the ball, but staring at an interception stat and thinking it completes a player is ignorant.
