He was named to the Sporting News All-Rookie team.
2009 saw even better tackle statistics for Avril.
He recorded 18 more tackles in 2009 than he did his rookie year in 2008.
But his pass rushing ability stats did not improve much over his rookie year, as he recorded just a half sack more (5.5) in 2009.
