Scouting Report
An outstanding speed rusher when on his game, he exploded at the snap and could beat most blockers to the edge (and had a great spin move when blocked). Displayed the ability to play either defensive end or outside linebacker, depending on the scheme. Was not a great tackler and could get somewhat one-dimensional at times as a pass rusher. Lacked ideal size for an edge rusher and could at times be forced outside and away from the play. Did not always hold the point of attack well. Showed decline at the end of his career.
Long Range Potential: Outstanding pass rusher.
