- Strong and stout against the run, filling lanes with power and an attacking mentality.
- Has good balance and short-area burst to stay on his feet through contact
- Big, aggressive hitter who can lay the wood. Has good awareness to quickly locate the ball, keeping his eyes up and on point.

- Doesn't have enough speed, power or bulk to fit any LB position perfectly in the NFL.
- Plays too high when trying to set the edge. His motor is inconsistent.
