While i was at Jets camp in August I came up with a couple facts. All of which have been stated in previous articles. I have talked about what Pennington means to the Jets this year. I also talked about how i think Jerricho Cotchery is going to be a good player in this league. Now is my turn to draw attention to the other side of the ball. The side that unless your Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Ed Reed, Derrick Brooks, or even John Vilma you will not get the notorioty that you deserve. There are a lot of good players on every team. Some are considered 'serviceable' and some are considered breakout caliber guys. I am not here to discuss serviceable with you. I am hear to let you in on what every crazed fan wants to know. That being something that you have discovered that other people haven't.
One of the great parts of being a fan is being able to tell a friend about something you heard that they have not. Especially if its considered "inside" information. Well i have some "inside" info for you. The point here is the Jets have a 2nd year Safety who i think this year will break into top 5 status among ALL safeties. I know it sounds nuts and most people i have told this agree with you and think i am out of my gord. You may be right but only time will tell now won't it.
Kerry Rhodes the 2nd year Safety out of Louisville has put himself on my break out caliber list. At 6 foot 3 210 he is big enough to play in the box and stuff the run. He can cover a slot receiver or even the teams top Tight End. Lastly he is great at Roaming the field. Thats where i think he is best. Now this will have most people thinking "there are a lot of 200 lb safeties that can run fast and stuff the run." You know what your right but K -Row (thats the nickname the players call him) has something else these other players don't. He has what Ed Reed or Rodney Harrison has. Not even Sean Taylor has this. Taylor has a ton of athletic ability but he doesn't have this. That "it" factor I am talking about is called smarts. Smarts is a combination of things. Quickly here they are things like awareness, game film knowledge, reaction , work ethic, and leadership.
All of which the unknown from the Jets has. Now i know i talk about the Jets like they are going to the Super Bowl but in no way do i think that is a possibility. This is all a prediction and for the real fantasy football owners out there that actually draft individual defensive players (Team defense owners won't know a thing about what were talking about) pick up Kerry Rhodes if he is on the free agent list. I am expecting a monster season out of this guy and by year's end he will be in the top 5 in every category among Safeties in the league. I not only promise you that i guarantee it. I may be nuts for saying it but once again ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
