Scouting Report
Was explosive out of his stance and had great acceleration. Offensive tackles had trouble getting position on him. Pursued plays well and did not quit, and punished quarterbacks. Became a multi-dimensional pass-rusher with time. Did a nice job of forcing fumbles and displayed great instincts and effort in pass coverage. Like most speed rushers, he struggled when the opponent ran right at him. Got worn down by double teams. Had several injury issues throughout his career (which was understandable given his size and role). Unfortunately, age and injuries caught up to him and he was not as dominant as a pass-rusher later in his NFL career.
Long Range Potential: Outstanding pass-rusher.
