Buffalo Bills Safety Jarius Byrd "A Star Is Born"

The Buffalo Bills new starting Free Safety Jarius Byrd is breath of fresh air in the Bills defensive Backfield. Jarius step right in after the injury to Donte Whitner and has made some tremendous defensive plays that helped the Bills win last two football games against New York Jets and Carolina Panthers. Byrd has come up with two interceptions the last two games which set up touchdown opportunities for the Buffalo Bills pathetic offense. The defensive plays that Byrd has made the last two weeks helped save Head Coach Dick Jauron job and Buffalo Bills season. Jarius has a knack for being around the football and making intelligent football plays which has been sorely needed on the Bills defense for the last ten years. The one thing that three top all world NFL safeties Troy Pomlameu, Bob Sanders and Ed Reed all have in common there are always around the football making plays that win football games. Jarius Byrd was drafted in the second round out of Oregon and he has played against some of the best pro-style offenses in country while, playing in the PAC-10 Conference. Jarius played against USC, Oregon State and Arizona who all have former NFL head coaches who run a NFL pro-style offense which prepared Jarius for NFL. Jarius also, comes from good stock his father Gil Byrd played for the San Diego Chargers and was a great defensive back who helped the Chargers go to two AFC Championship games. Jarius is second in the NFL with five interceptions behind only Darrin Sharper of New Orleans who is having a career at safety. Finally, Jarius has the opportunity to become on of the best Defensive players in the NFL if he improves every week and he, is put in the right situation to make plays. A football team is only as great a some of there Stars. I personally believe a "Star Is Born" in Jarius Byrd
