Strengths

• Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
• Flashes strength at the point of attack with active, violent hand use. Forceful with his upper body to defeat blocks. Strong hustle player.
• A borderline top-100 draft pick who isn't flashy and won't have great workout numbers, but simply makes plays on the football field.
• 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.
• Coordinated with smooth movement skills. High-effort rusher and works through the whistle. Relentless worker, fighting off blocks and battling to the ball.

Weaknesses

• Not explosive as a pass rusher or run defender. Lacks elite speed and flexibility to turn the corner and is late off the snap.
• Not a quick-twitch player. Won't consistently threaten the edge. Few explosive qualities and lacks great initial burst or overall range for the position.
• 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.
• Not overly flexible or loose. Limited, predictable pass-rush arsenal. Struggles to locate the ball at times and needs to do a better job with his read-and-react skills.
