The All-Rookie was a Pro Bowl and league-leader in Interceptions (9) in his first NFL season. Byrd could not sneak up on anyone like that again but went to two more Pro Bowls (2012 & 2013) before signing with the Saints, where he played three years. After one more season in Carolina, Byrd left the NFL, retiring with 25 Interceptions.
