Kearse Honored Again
Kearse Named Defensive Rookie of Year

As expected, the Associated Press named Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse its defensive rookie of the year Tuesday.

The 16th selection in last April's draft ended the season with a rookie-record 14.5 sacks. Kearse also had 18 pressures and 10 forced fumbles.

'I didn't expect the moves I had to be so successful,' Kearse said. 'I kind of expected them to play me for my speed move a lot. I've come up with a lot more.'

Kearse received all but one of the 50 votes cast. Washington's Champ Bailey took the last vote.
