Scouting Report
An all-around defensive dominator, he was elite as a sack artist, logged fantastic tackle totals and got his hands up in passing lanes. Freakishly athletic and exposive, he also boasted superb size, intensity and football smarts. He was highly aware and a constant playmaker. Was also a great ambassador for the game. Occasionally, he was too aggressive, leading to unnecessary penalties. His durability was epic and he played through injury like few others.
Long Range Potential: One of the greatest defensive ends in NFL history.
