throwback middle linebacker. one of the best in the country in short-yardage defense; he sees red and just starts dropping bodies on his way to the ball-carrier. it's entertainingly violent.

not so fun to watch when given other assignments, however. he's a husky guy who could stand to drop 15 pounds, but that wouldn't change his tight hips and overall lack of grace in the open field. he doesn't have a closing burst from sideline to sideline, and he's at the quarterback's mercy in man or zone.

great when moving forward, but doesn't do enough in other phases of the game to be a NFL presence.
