The fourth-round draft pick for South Carolina had four sacks as a rookie. His five sacks in his first 15 career games tied the great Chester McGlockton for the second most in that time span, trailing only Roderick Coleman for the mot sacks for a defensive tackle in their first 15 games in team history, according to the team's public relations department.
