Scouting Report
A truly explosive powerhouse in the middle of the defensive line, he excelled at slipping the grips of blockers and accelerating into the backfield. A rare outstanding athlete from the defensive tackle position, he was incredibly strong for his size. Manhandled most opponents off the snap. Had enough speed to play defensive end and was extremely versatile. Lacked ideal bulk for an interior defensive lineman, but that rarely mattered. While good at getting his hands up, he was not a towering presence along the line. Will go down as one of the greatest defensive linemen in National Football League history.
Long Range Potential: All-time great defensive lineman.
