Scouting Report
He was an exceptional pass rusher who could gets off the edge in a hurry. Could also regularly bull rush or finesse his blocker (depending on the situation). Worked back to the inside very well and could always find a quick lane to the quarterback. Did a nice job reading running plays too. Was sometimes a somewhat one-dimensional defender whose only goal seemed to get into the backfield. Wasn't particularly adepth at dropping back in pass coverage. Tended to be overly aggressive at times and drew some unnecessary flags.
Long Range Potential: Star veteran pass rusher.
