As much as Mayo seems recovered from his injury, torn patellar tendons are notorious for sapping lateral speed etc and I just can’t see Mayo being at a high enough level to be anyone near as good as he use to be not to mention he was also coming off his torn pec last year. What do you think?

I guess we’ll just have to see how he looks once he gets on the field for a game. I think the severity of Mayo’s injury has been somewhat glossed over because he came back so quickly and everyone’s just assuming he’ll be fine. But I think you’re very right that there’s a chance Mayo’s not quite the same player this season. Wilfork certainly returned from a major injury without any bumps last year and he seemed close to the same player, so hopefully Mayo can do the same. But it’s definitely not something that we should assume is far in the rearview mirror.
