Summary

Three year starter in '95, '96 and '97. Short player that lacks legitimate NFL size and he does not look natural carrying his weight. He gets overpowered in a short area "fist fight" and does not have the natural size to handle strong NTs. He does have good weight room strength for his size and he works hard to finish plays. He is a tenacious bull dog type that tries to compensate for his lack of size with aggressiveness. He is an absolute finisher that plays a little better than he looks, however, his limitations are legitimate and he may struggle to compete on the NFL level in both size and AA catagories.DEFENSIVE ENDS
