Strengths

• Good agility and balance when shadowing his target. Competitive player.
• Patient and flexible in his drops and looks natural in space. Aggressive with an active playing style to work through the action - doesn't back down against the run
• Very good instincts, especially in the box. Sound and solid tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit.
• Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
• Good speed in pursuit with the chase skills to track down the ballcarrier.

Weaknesses

• Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
• 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.
• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
• Has only average long speed and body flexibility.
