Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good not great quickness and change of direction agility. Chases, using a long spin move to clear blocks. Low, strong off the line.
- James explodes off the line with a quick first step, with agile feet to counter inside and closing burst to finish plays.
- His core flexibility and balance are excellent, and James has prototypical length.
- His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
- James has the speed to be effective in pursuit, and he shows enough fluid athleticism that he might be able to transition to outside linebacker and hold up in coverage.
- While he has the flexibility to dip and bend under tackles, what makes him truly dangerous is his ability to counter.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Rarely the first player off the snap, even when lined up over the ball, but his length, effort and short-area quickness still pressures double teams and helps penetrate gaps.
- He’s often slow to react and locate the ball against the run.
- Lean lower body - must improve core and leg strength. Suspect body flexibility and tight hips.
