He was that good. As a DT to get 7.5 sacks and then 10 sacks, you just don't stumble into that.
But now, he's not even half the player that he was. He got paid. He got soft. He got lazy.
It just kills me though, that in one of the best drafts of all time, we had the #3 pick. Set up to get a HOF type player. Almost every player drafted around him is probably Canton bound, and we ended up with the steaming pile of poop.
