Inscription.
He stepped in from his very first game and showed dominance as a defender. His impressive play earned him All-American honors as a junior, and a knee injury early his senior year is the only thing that kept him from being a two-time choice. A third round NFL draft pick, he played 10 years for Denver, the NY Giants and Detroit, including two Super Bowl appearances.
