The thing I remember was the first time I saw him play in person. I only get to maybe one game a year and I think this was a pre-season game against Carolina. I just remember looking at how big he was and that he looked like a tall linebacker. I couldn't believe how big he looked compared to all the skill guys. He really looked like a man among boys. He earned his nickname "Swoop" because watching a guy that big cover as much ground in a short time was like watching an eagle swoop down and snatch its prey. Amazing. I've never seen anyone like him.

I still can't believe he's gone.
