Slip in production in senior season (154 tackles and 9.0 sacks as junior, 106 and 1.0 sacks as senior) had him slide in the draft, but Giants loved his overall stats . . . Undersized for a middle linebacker, but plays with heart and intensity and is a vocal leader . . . Was the first Spartan to earn back-to-back consensus first-team All-American honors (2009-10) since Bubba Smith and George Webster in 1965-66 . . . Credited with eight tackles and two sacks in preseason.
