That was kind of a guy that went under the radar that not a lot of teams knew about or had a lot of love for and I kind of put my name on it, put my stamp on him, we took him,"said. "As a rookie, we kind of thought of him as a developmental guy, guy that had traits but might take a couple years to really get going.
"But he came onto the scene, he had eight sacks in seven games that year. We had high expectations for him last year and then he broke his ankle and was out for almost the entire year," Mularkey continued.
