Lol Hightower is not better than Clay.

And no Kendricks is not better vs the run than Clay. Our run D drastically changed for the better once Clay was moved inside. We had one of the worst run defenses in the first half off the season when Clay moved inside week 8 we had a top 10 run D the rest of the year.

From a Packers fans point of view he is not, from a Patriots fan he is, the Eagles fan thinks Kendricks is better. If he could stay healthy I would Jerrod Mayo over all three of them.

Mayo is a damn fine player who is asked to do a lot in the Patriots scheme and does it well... but while not ignoring the point of your post by saying hometown players get a boost in the eyes of the fans....so far, even when healthy, I don't believe he cracks a top 5 conversation yet.

Three years ago before all the injuries set in Mayo was considered a Top 5 player by many. In fact in Madden 5 he was the 5th best LB with a 94 OVR.
