He has been NFL Defensive Player of the Year, led the NFL in sacks, and has at least a share of the NFL all-time record in fumble recoveries and fumbles returned for touchdowns.

He has hosted an annual ping-pong charity event for a long time, JT’s Ping-Pong Smash, one that was supported earlier by a former Fremont TTA sponsor.
