Scouting Report
A very good pass rusher and a big hitter. Can control the point of attack and punish blockers and ball-carriers. Tenacious, and a nice fit in a 3-4 defense. Aging, and gambles too much to try to make up for it. A liability in pass coverage. Sometimes causes distracting controversy with his words in the media.
Long Range Potential: Aging star linebacker.
