Fantasy Analysis
In two seasons he's totaled 20.5 sacks and 102 total tackles (40 tackles and 9.0 sacks in 2011), so he's been a quality stat contributor. We should see more big numbers from him this season assuming his knee heals properly. He's worth rolling the dice on as a No. 2 defensive lineman with a mid-round pick. (Updated 05/07/2012).
