- He’s very good in coverage when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- Good closing speed with long arms to drag down quarterbacks and running backs.
- Physical at the point of attack and works hard to shed blocks. Enjoys contact and is a forceful tackler. Effective blitzer with the speed to reach the backfield and create backside pressure.
- Has very good playing speed and is fast in pursuit, chasing down the action with a closing burst. Coordinated and looks natural in space.
- Good athlete. Shows a natural feel for pass rushing. Very good lateral agility to shake pass blockers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Does not blow up targets. Many inside tackles are catch-and-drags, which will be more difficult to make at the next level.
- As a pass rusher, Funa needs the scheme to create deception and confusion to give him a free run.
- Can be too hesitant when he doesn't find the ball immediately.
