10. New England Patriots Take Jerod Mayo, LB, Tennessee in NFL Draft


Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo says he was asked by an NFL team in a pre-draft interview, "When was the last time you cheated on your girlfriend?" He declined to say which team asked him the question, but his answer was that he never cheated on his girlfriend.

Let's hope it wasn't the Patriots who asked Mayo that question, seeing as Bill Belichick is just about the last person who has a reason to be judgmental about such things.

What teams like best about Mayo is his versatility; he can play the weak side, the strong side, or the middle, much like Keith Rivers, who went one spot ahead of him. New England desperately needs a young, fast linebacker, and that's just what it got.
