Great things for A.J. to build on after his rookie season. Not a Packers fan at all, but I broke down and bought an A.J. home Packers jersey.:biggrin:

AJ had an excellent rookie season, and of course, like any rookie, he did make a few mistakes and they were visible when watching a game. But they were limited mistakes and they can be corrected. I look for AJ to be one of the top LBs next season with experience and leadership qualities in him.

Already have. I've gotten into the habit of buying many of my favorite Buckeye jerseys...it's easy here in Korea and with E-bay. Besides A.J., got a Nuge jersey, Mangold, Whitner, Vrabel and Winfield. Just can't break down and buy a Santonio jersey though.:biggrin:

Hmm, I was wondering why Mangold didn't make the all-rookie team. But I notice Gil Brandt has only four OL and no center on his team. Tough to field an offense without a center.

Anyway, congrats to AJ!! I guess Nick will have to wait until an entire offense is on the field.

I thought that was pretty cheap too. Obviously Mangold would have had Center hands-down, and deserved it.
Anyway, I found this interesting tidbit at the bottom...

Ohio State rookies started 50 games this season -- the most of any college in the nation."

AJ & Baylee - More Paying Forward

AJ Hawk and other Buckeyes helped in last years fundraiser -

Bet on Baylee event to benefit disease research
By GI SMITH

ZANESVILLE - A.J. Hawk, Antonio Pittman, Anthony Gonzalez and countless other elite athletes have been in the company of a truly inspiring person - and they knew it the moment they met her.
Though only 6 years old, Baylee Thompson is a little girl that even the most popular and sought-after sports star is not likely to forget. And though mitochondrial disease has kept her from saying more than "Mom" and "bye," Baylee uses her heart to do all the talking.
.......
This year, the Bet on Baylee fundraiser will start with a Texas Hold'em card game at 1 p.m. March 10 at the Zanesville VFW, located at 1318 Putnam Ave. The annual auction starts at 6 p.m.
Auction items include a slew of signed sports memorabilia from past Ohio State Football players and current NFL players.
"My goal for this year, I would love to raise $20,000," Jody Thompson said.
Last year, the Bet on Baylee fundraiser netted a little more than $16,000. The photograph of Baylee and A.J. Hawk brought in $750 during the auction.
"People always find a way to give, even when times are tough," Jody Thompson said.
Thompson said former OSU players, such as Hawk, have been more than willing to sign auction items to help in the effort to raise money for research.
