His natural leadership ability and constant hustle made him a perfect fit in the heart of the defense. Equipped for every scheme, he rarely skipped a down in his prime; his read-and-react skills were first-rate. Excelled at shedding blockers and finding the ball. Could rip and strip, as well as get positional picks by being in the right place at the right time. Was not a prolific pass rusher, nor was he the fastest runner. Therefore, what he did well was to usually keep the play in front of him.

Long Range Potential: Intense, versatile linebacker.
