In the 8 years from '07 to '14 peko finished in the top 10 in tackles by an interior defensive lineman 6 times. Twice ('08, '11) as high as 2nd in the league when he was 4th among all D-linemen.
Some people act like it is easy to rack up tackle numbers, but if you look at the league eladers they are usually among the best players. Shedding blockers and getting to the ball carrier is a valuable skill.
Also a solid locker-room guy who was a leader. Although for the life of me, I have no idea what he was thinking in the playoff game against the Steelers when he ran on to the field from the sideline to confront Fitzgerald Toussaint.
