To me, he started this new breed, undersized sideline-to-sideline LB trend. Dude was mad underrated his entire career. Just a show up every day, first-in-first-out, shut your mouth and work type of guy...

His big knock coming out was that he couldn't disengage from blockers.  While this remained a weakness his whole career he became ultra elite at not getting blocked but still being able to dice into lanes and make plays.  It was a different way of playing MLB then the Ray Lewis's of the world.  He was struggling when we switched to 3-4 and moved him inside until Todd Haley benched him.  A switch flipped and DJ just developed a knack for being at the right place at the right time.
