Bills FS Jairus Byrd was selected as the NFL's October Rookie of the Month, and he is off to a bang in November's first day, too.

Another game, another two interceptions. That's three straight games with two picks apiece. Unreal.

His father is Gill Byrd, a fine and underrated cornerback who has 42 interceptions in 10 NFL seasons. So it's in his blood.

But the kid is on a ridiculous pace to pass Dad … oh, sometime next December, I would say.

All of a sudden, Byrd is the favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year. And a ray of light for a Bills team that could use it.
