6th round pick 2008 Unrestricted free agent - Chicago - 2012
Spent three seasons as the starting weakside linebacker but was allowed to leave as a free agent after the 2011 campaign. Had made the 2008 team as a back-up linebacker and special teams coverage man and was excelling in both areas and scored a touchdown on a punt block before being placed on IR at mid-season. Went on to play a year with Chicago and then started for two seasons for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sadly passed away in April 2021 from liver disease.
