Was a great pass rusher who timed blitzes well and used his hands and leverage to escape blockers. Controlled the point of attack, disrupted plays, and made a lot of tackles. A fine athlete who could double as a tight end. A leader. Lacked change-of-direction quickness in the open field. Was at times a liability in pass coverage duties, and he often needed to be protected by the scheme.

Long Range Potential: Above-average multi-tasking linebacker.
