Scouting Report
He was an excellent edge rusher with fantastic strength and power for his size. He was incredibly intense as a competior. Used a quick first step and a variety of moves to get into the backfield, and he could outmuscle and out-hustle blockers. Piled up a lot of tackles for a pass rusher. Was somewhat undersized, and hed didn't have the elite speed to consistently make plays in pursuit. He was additionally below average in pass coverage, lacking top-tier vision and length when dropping back to cover receivers. Could be abrasive on and off the field.
Long Range Potential: Intense, playmaking star linebacker.
