Scouting Report
Excelled at stuffing the run. A very energetic defender, he brought a great first step and some shifty moves to the field. Was a punishing tackler against the run and displayed good overall awareness during the play. Always seemed to be around the ball. Was never a major threat for sacks in the National Football League. Had a tendency to be over-aggressive at times going after ball carriers, which led to missed plays. Had some attitude issues early in his career and took some time finding his way in the NFL.
Long Range Potential: Quality, run-stuffing defensive end.
