Strengths

• Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.
• Can deliver the big hit and isn't afraid to jump inside to slow the ball.
• Quicker than he is fast but has a burst to close in zone coverage and plays physical at the line in man.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Tough and scrappy with forceful nature to be physical at all levels of the field. Has good bulk on his frame to be aggressive in run support.

Weaknesses

• Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
• Needs to improve his footwork and balance in coverage. Transitions out of his backpedal too early and doesn't look natural moving in reverse.
• Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
• Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
• Willing but not threatening tackler. Doesn't have the quick-twitch reaction when he gears down to rebuild to top speed. More instinctive than explosive.
