An all-around playmaker who could be a leader on defense, he was Intense on the field. Also, he was a prolific and hard-working tackler, yet was also very smart in reading plays. Was a threat for interceptions in the pass coverage game. Got the most out of his athleticism. Had a few red flags due to major injuries and some off-field behavior (early in his career). Had a tendency to draw penalties. While not slow, he was not a burner in open field or particularly explosive when reacting in space. Was not a great pass rusher.

Long Range Potential: Thumping inside linebacker (when healthy).
