Scouting Report

Assets
  • Excellent all-around linebacker who can blitz, drop into coverage or play the run. Very aggressive. Runs the field very well and makes plays from sideline to sideline. Has a feel for the game.
Flaws
  • Will get over-aggressive at times and get himself out of position. Has lost a step. Isn't getting any younger.
Career Potential
  • Excellent starter / multiple Pro Bowler.
