Scouting Report
A real tackling machine who brought outstanding range: few NFL linebackers have been as consistently productive bringing down ball-carriers. He made a lot of plays in pursuit, and was a threat to sack the quarterback too. Had superb physical tools and was an all-round producer and a team leader. Could have done more in the pass coverage game. Had a history of significant knee injuries. Wasn't quite ideally-sized for an NFL inside linebacker, which might have contributed to his durability issues.
Long Range Potential: Pro Bowl inside linebacker.
