Strengths

• Combines very good instincts with above-average reaction skills. Almost always finds the ball in traffic.
• Has enough hustle and athleticism to make plays in the flat against running backs. Lacks height but has the vertical and timing to knock away passes when approaching the quarterback.
• Possesses strong upper body to be explosive and create turnovers as a tackler. Takes aggressive angles to the ball.
• Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
• Has a filled-out frame with good thickness. Plays at full speed at all times with an active motor and determined quickness in pursuit.

Weaknesses

• Often engulfed by NFL-caliber tackles due to his lack of height. Must improve consistency in beating cut blocks.
• Doesn't have enough speed, power or bulk to fit any LB position perfectly in the NFL.
• Occasionally overruns plays due to aggressive nature. Hesitates when facing running back Blocks while rushing the passer.
• Needs work on angles and· finding receivers in zone. Does not possess elite quickness. Fails to break down at times, grabbing shoulder pads and lunging to allow ballcarriers to elude him.
• Gets caught with the eyes in the backfield at times. Strong backs can run through his tackle attempts if he's not in position.
