Jerod Mayo, the 29 year old Linebacker with the New England Patriots announced via Instagram post that he would be retiring from the National Football League.
Drafted out of the University of Tennessee in the first round in 2008, Jarod Mayo made an immediate impact with the Patriots earning the Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Mayo would enjoy his best year in 2010 when he made his first and only First Team All Pro roster and led the NFL in combined tackles. He would make the Pro Bowl again in 2012 and in 2015 was a member of the Super Bowl Champion Patriots team.
Mayo retires with 353 Solo Tackles and 11 Quarterback Sacks over 103 Games Played. Mayo will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021, though he is unlikely to get inducted. He is however likely to get inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame in the future.
We would like to thank Jerod Mayo for the great memories on the field and we wish him the best in his post-playing career.
