I Want a DeMeco Ryans Jersey

There are few things that Texans fans agree on, but pretty much all agree that DeMeco Ryans was a terrific pick up for the Texans.

This week, SI.com named Ryans as #4 on their NFL Rookies Watch List. (The highest ranked defensive rookie on the list). At this point in the season, he is the 5th ranked linebacker in the NFL in overall tackles with 39 and is tied for second in solo tackles. He also has 1.5 sacks (and if you've watched the games, he has been close to having more).

He has done this despite the Texans facing the 4th hardest schedule in the league to date. Notably, most of the players at the top of the NFL linebacker list for tackles haven't had their bye week yet, like Ryans has.

A lot NFL players have basic shells for their websites, but DeMecoRyans.net is updated regularly with his blog, news items and other things of interest. I know from reading my blog comments, that there are a lot of Alabama fans following his progress. So if you are fan of his, check out his website, leave him a supportive comment in his guestbook, or perhaps buy an autographed football for a reasonable price.

I need to find a Ryans jersey in my size.
