Tomon Fox is an rookie undrafted free agent linebacker from Lawrence Taylor’s University of North Carolina, where he surpassed LT’s career sack record to finish behind only Greg Ellis (32.5) and Julius Peppers (30.5). Fox became a viral sensation when he resembled a heat-seeking missile closing furiously on the wide receiver in the flat to force a fumble. (New York Post)
