"I'm so proud of Larry and the person he has become. He's got to the point where he takes a great deal of pride on and off the field.
"Larry has never been shy about contact. He'll definitely light you up. He's just one of those guys that brings the hammer as a tackler. He has a good nose for the football, and has excellent football instincts.
