Dont’a Hightower Embracing Leadership Role on Patriots Defense, Which Is Already Benefitting Jamie Collins
It wasn’t but a year ago that Dont’a Hightower was a wide-eyed rookie looking to Jerod Mayo for guidance and advice. Now, entering just his second NFL season, he’s the one giving the guidance.
During his rookie season, Hightower leaned heavily on Mayo for direction and leadership in how to acclimate to not just the NFL but more importantly the Patriots’ program. By season’s...
Jerod Mayo: eager and ready to go
It is odd to imagine that having your season end in the AFC Championship game would kick off what is considered to be a long offseason. I guess that is what comes with the territory when your team has championship aspirations year in and year out. Patriots Pro Bowl linebacker Jerod Mayo has never won a Super Bowl, but he picked up the winning mentality as soon as he came to New...
Jerod Mayo’s Hardworking, Blue Collar Style Should Lead Patriots’ Defense to New Heights
For many NFL players, football is just a job. For Jerod Mayo, it’s his profession.
Mayo takes great pride in his work on the field, and he knows how important his commitment off the field is to that success.
During the season, Mayo works as hard as any player to perfect his craft, and in the offseason things don’t really change for him. While some guys spend their downtime touring...
New England Patriots 2013 defensive draft needs
The New England Patriots have crafted another potential dominant defense, but 2013 may be one step forward with two steps back for the defense. Every season, top talent leaves, and the replenishment isn’t always there. Aqib Talib was a great trade in 2012, and made a huge difference across the entire defense, but you could see the major problems on defense when he went down in...
Bill Belichick talks about Jerod Mayo and the MLB position: "kind of like the quarterback”
Bill Belichick doesn’t like to banter to the press about fluffy topics, he grunts and snarls at those poor reporters who think so pink balloon-ish.
However, if you want to hear Belichick go on and talk about things that are passionate to him, he’ll give you a wealth of information.
Friday’s press conference Belichick effused his opinion of Jerod Mayo and the middle linebacker...

Game Day Recipe Week 12: BLT and Jerod Mayo Sandwich - Scup's in the Harbor
Jerod Mayo was drafted by the New England Patriots in the first round (10th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft ... Signed by the Patriots (7/24/08). This Thursday we play the Jets again we need him to play as he did the first meeting with I believe 11 Tackles - 10 Solo and 1 Assist. He hits often and hard, maybe too hard sometimes. Here is a sandwich that hits you hard in a good way...
Video: Jerod Mayo hates Tom Curran from CSNNE
Awkward! I never really watch this Quick Slants show but I do know that a regular segment is Curran sitting down for dinner with Jerod Mayo. I've never seen a Patriots player with so much disdain before. Mayo keeps it under wraps though and just gets in a lot of passive aggressive jabs.I wonder if this is staged or if Mayo is just sick of having dinner with Tom E. Curran every...
Jerod Mayo on the young Patriots defense: “We’re coming together”
Jerod Mayo became a captain in only his second year as a professional, showing how mature he was at the time. The fifth year veteran now again has to take another jump in leadership. The addition of Chandler Jones and Don’t’a Hightower now has Mayo as the elder statesman. Mayo joined WEEI in Boston with the Big Show to shed some light on the Hightower and the Patriots young...

Breaking: Patriots sign Jerod Mayo to a 5-yr extension
Great news this morning that the Pats have locked up Jerod Mayo long term. Always love when these extensions come out of nowhere, leaving us with one less player to speculate about what his future might be. We all know when Pats players get to free agency there’s no guarantee that they’ll be back.
Coincidence that this comes...
