Scouting Report
A very gritty, energetic, and focused linebacker who could read the action well. Got himself into good position to make plays, and possessed the foot-speed to consistently stop the run. A solid tackler who wrapped up well. Had a burst and was able to get into the backfield. Tended to play tentatively against the pass at times, and didn't seem to trust his instincts in the coverage game. Didn't make plays in pursuit as much as he could have. Significant health issues ended his career early.
Long Range Potential: Solid rotational linebacker.
