Scouting Report
An elite defender who brought outstanding intensity. A leader on the field who would captain the defense. Piled up tackles and, in his prime, was a regular sacks threat. Read quarterbacks and schemes exceptionally well, providing pass breakups and interceptions. An intimidator. Became less of a factor pressuring the pocket as he got older. Nagging injuries slowed him down a bit over time, and he became more susceptible to blocking by massive O-linemen.
Long Range Potential: Pro Bowl linebacker with Hall of Fame talent.
