Had great bulk and good skills as a run stopper. Was very strong on his feet and would not let the opponent go easily. Was an enthusiastic special teamer early on in his NFL career, as well. Was not the most mobile linebacker, especially for someone who mostly played on the outside (4-3). Had trouble bursting through the line, though he could produce the occasional sack in certain situations. Was never great at reading offenses. Was also a bit limited when put in a starting role.

Long Range Potential: Solid, situational linebacker.
