Don't live there any more, but spend a lot of time on Bills message boards....
I think he has a general level of respect, he's clearly the leader of the D and gives it all every time on the field....
Some people, however, don't forgive him for being the 8th pick and claim he hasn't made enough of an impact (even though he has nearly identical stats to Bob Sanders)
Basically everyone thinks he's a pretty great guy to have on the team, but some wish we could have traded down and still picked him up.
I personally defend him on Bills boards if he's criticized because I'm a huge Buckeye fan too.....
