Howie Long-random question

I was born in 1989, so I never saw him play, but I was doing my research on Richard Dent and came across Howie Long as a top 10 DE in almost every ranking I saw. He was above Dent every time. I look at their stats and they both looked to be pure pass rushers, both at 6-5, 265. Long only has three 10 plus sack seasons (most being 13) while Dent has eight (most being 17.5). Why was howie long considered to be so good?
