"Just like all my young guys, I want to see them get a little better than what they were a year ago," outside linebacker's coach Joey Porter said. "He has had time to look at the stuff he did last year, and he can judge himself where he is now. I catch him out there helping the young guys and the new guys to the defense. He said, 'I never thought I would be able to help somebody.' But that shows you how far along he has come with this defense. He feels comfortable enough to give the other guys some knowledge of the game. That's a beautiful thing that shows his growth."
