Strengths

• Flashes upper-body strength to rip and has the punch to push through interior linemen on stunts and twists.
• Excellent hustle-and-chase tackler. Good closing speed with change of direction to corral mobile quarterbacks.
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
• He wins with all-out hustle, second and third effort and will contribute in the NFL.
• More of a hustling pass rusher than an accomplished or natural one, he'll make his mark as a fifth or sixth defensive lineman.

Weaknesses

• Too aggressive and bites hard on misdirection. Could be a one-year wonder.
• Average size, strength and lacks the bulk in his upper and lower body to hold up on the line. Not a sudden athlete.
• He doesn't have the elite quickness or flexibility to flatten off the edge against NFL blockers and might have to add bulk to be a 3-4 defense five-technique, or strong-side end in a 4-3.
• Has limited athleticism and range. Lacks natural explosion or first-step burst to consistently threaten the edge.
• Average size, strength and lacks the bulk in his upper and lower body to hold up on the line. Not a sudden athlete. Very ordinary flexibility and fluidity; not overly explosive and lacks the speed to threaten the edge. Plays upright with limited power to disengage _and is not overpowering in any aspect.
