Profile
Started every game at nose tackle for the third straight season and as well as playing the run as well as ever and originally recorded an interception in the road Atlanta game until it was later amended to a fumble recovery. Switched to the 3 technique position on arriving with the Buccaneers, having been more of a pass rusher in Minnesota. One-time star of the Viking defensive line who wound up in the Minnesota doghouse in 2004 and was declared inactive for several games. Had started 70 games in his NFL career and had 17 sacks before leaving Minneapolis.
