Scouting Report
Was a tenacious and powerful pass-rusher with great natural athleticism. Could rack up sacks when on top of his game. Had a tendency to drop out of coverage at times. Was not a pure tackler. His play against the run was mediocre, especially in open space. Injuries were a major problem for him throughout his career.
Long Range Potential: Quality outside linebacker and sack artist, when healthy.
