It is a durn shame that this needed to happen, but it did. The Hawks were criticized for taking an undersized MLB too high in the draft, and though I think he showed the NFL his heart and brain in his first three seasons (3 Pro-Bowls), the injuries have really caught up with him the last couple years. Last year, there were entire games where we never heard his number called.
I think the original assessments of Lofa were right, but that his heart and work ethic game him three elite years in the NFL. And that, to me, is a more impressive achievement than players with size and talent stringing years of Pro Bowl seasons together. Best Wishes Lofa!
