Was capable of making a lot of tackles, thanks to a highly aggressive approach. Worked inside well (and could pressure the QB), yet was also fairly explosive sideline to sideline. Employed his size, speed and strength to bring down opponents. Was a hard-working, high-character and smart player. Did not have great durability for the National Football League. Was not particularly fast in open field, an issue that became bigger following a history of leg injuries throughout his playing career. Never truly found his niche as a professional linebacker.

Long Range Potential: Hard-working, depth linebacker.
