Scouting Report

Assets
  • Very good pass rusher. Big hitter. Tenacious. Can control the point of attack and punish blockers and ballcarriers. Should benefit from a switch to the 3-4 defense, where he is most comfortable.
Flaws
  • Aging. Gambles and guesses too much. A liability in coverage. Still talks the talk but doesn't back it up much anymore. Looked lost and disinterested in the 4-3 last year.
Career Potential
  • Fading star.
