Coaches comments: “Versatile and physical player for us who played multiple spots on offense (FB/TE) and defense (LB/DE). Joe’s attitude was always “whatever’s best for the team”. When moved to FB full-time, our offense took off and led to a 1,000-yard rushing season. Defensively he led our team in tackles and TFLs and we will count on him to make an even bigger impact this season.”
