Converted from college nose tackle to pro fullback based on favorable genetics (his father of the same name played defensive end in the NFL) and his ultra-competitive nature. Was simply relentless: he sold out on every play and was beloved by teammates as the ultimate battler. Was also crafty in utilizing his stocky frame and low center of gravity for leverage against taller opponents; he delivered a massive payload relative to his size. Doubled as a regular on kick-coverage teams. Lacked natural athleticism and optimal body type, so injuries were an issue here. Was limited to early-down snaps and not a good rusher.

Long Range Potential: Outstanding fullback and special teams ace.
