1997.
I guess you could say he was a mild disappointment given the expectations, but he wasn't bad for us.
24 sacks in 5 years, including 9 in 2001 and 6 in 1998. He just had the misfortune of being drafted when we were transitioning to a 3-4. Then we went back to a 4-3 in 2000. So that had more to do with him bouncing around from LB to DE than his "tweener" status.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
