Scouting Report
An elite, high-motor pass rusher, he was a constant threat to take down the quarterback. Employed great height and athleticism, ran the field well and brought great first-step quickness. Anticipated well and would strip the ball and bat passes away regularly. Was also durable. Didn't always play with maximum leverage at the point of attack, and came out of his stance too high at times. With age he became more one-dimensional, mostly focusing on pass rushing and doing less against the run. Struggled when forced to play outside linebacker.
Long Range Potential: Pro Bowl pass rusher.
