'"You know what? I personally didn't know as much as I do now obviously," McDermott said. "Coach Waufle had some experience or awareness of Eddie from college. I'll just tell you, he's one of the nice surprises, not a surprise, but he continues to trend upward. And we're looking for depth along our defensive line and he's done a nice job. He plays extremely hard, he's intelligent, one of the first ones in the team meeting room in the morning. [Always] working on his craft. There's a reason he's been successful. He's done a nice job. He really has. Credit to Eddie and also to the defensive line coaching."'
