Spent four seasons as the primary run-stuffer on the defensive line and did a good job from his third round draft status but without ever posting moticable sack numbers. Also saw a few snaps as a blocking fullback in goal-line formations in 2009. Moved on as a free agent after 2012 to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Played four seasons with them and then part of the 2017 season with Kansas City before leaving the NFL for good. Switched from the No.90 for the 2010 season to allow top draft pick Gerald McCoy to keep his favoured 93 jersey in the NFL.
