Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 3 - Pick Number: 90 (MIN)
Strengths
- Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
- Has fluid footwork to redirect, reverse momentum and close with a burst. Regularly first off the ball with good snap anticipation.
- Good not great quickness and change of direction agility. Chases, using a long spin move to clear blocks. Low, strong off the line.
- Relentless and strong off the edge as a pass rusher when fresh. Gets under the pads of tackles to bull rush them into the backfield.
- Easily gains inside leverage by shooting gaps.
Weaknesses
- Average athletically with average straight line speed and tight hips. Not a natural bender. Lacks secondary pass-rush moves.
- Is slightly high-cut and stiff in the hips, likely too stiff for 3-4 outside linebacker consideration.
- Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
- Doesn't change direction easily. Can be late off the snap.
- Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
