When Jerod Mayo talks, he has that E.F. Hutton impact on the linebacker room: gamers hear.
Linebacker Mack Wilson Sr., acquired in March from the Browns in trade for Chase Winovich, says it’s been nice working with Mayo, the crew’s linebackers coach and former Defensive Rookie of the Year (2008) and Super Bowl champion.
“Coach Mayo, to me, he’s a legend in my eyes. When he talks, I listen,” Wilson stated following the Patriots Day 4 exercise. “I take note of all the pieces he (does), all the pieces he talks about within the assembly room, clearly, with the profession he had right here . . . it’s enjoyable simply having a coach who actually performed the sport, who put the blood, sweat and tears into the identical group, and now he’s our coach, giving us again instruments, recommendation, gems, and even teaching us on the finish of the day.
“It’s a blessing. I’m happy to be a part of this organization, and most importantly, that linebacker room.”
While Wilson at first didn’t actually know or perceive how good of a participant Mayo was when he roamed the center of the protection throughout his eight seasons with the Patriots, he made positive to do some homework earlier than assembly his new place coach.
“Once I got traded here, and found out he was going to be my coach, I did my research,” stated Wilson. “And, the research speaks for itself.”
Of course, movie of Mayo as a participant tends to indicate up when the coaches are attempting to show sure strategies, to not point out, the best way to play the place.
Wilson added that Mayo and fellow linebackers coach Steve Belichick make crew.
“All of us in the linebacker room are blessed and fortunate to have a coach like him and also Steve (Belichick), too,” stated Wilson. “I feel like they complement each other well and we feed off that, so overall, it’s great.”
