I followed Byrd in college and his time at Buffalo. The guy is no doubt a legit FS. His price tag has been way too high for his statistical performance, no doubt. I will say, there have been many plays during the season where he was near the WR on a touchdown or big play that he came a LONG ways to get there and almost make a play on the ball. Basically, most safeties wouldn't even be in the picture, but he was, which also made it look like his man making the catch.

I'll add, when I go to the games, he seems to be an in your face type player and always trying to pump other guys up. He seems kinda bland in interviews but doesn't come across that way on the field. As of on the field, Byrd is the least of our problems, of course as of salary cap, well it is a problem. I just don't feel there is another FS in the league that would have done any better for us this year, with this defense. Hopefully next year he can go back to being a ballhawk. He is a good tackler, and has caused a couple turnovers, we will see if he can build on that.
