Strengths
- Takes accurate angles to the ballcarrier. A strong, aggressive tackler and doesn't back down against the run.
- A tough, fearless athlete who plays with a physical and aggressive mentality on the football field.
- Can deliver the big hit and isn't afraid to jump inside to slow the ball.
- Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
- Flashes intimidating attitude and will crush tiptoeing receivers across the middle.
Weaknesses
- Lacks fluidity and explosion. Looks unnatural in backpedal and must improve fundamental tackling.
- Lacks the timed speed to mirror and maintain contact downfield. Loses the ball on slow-developing plays and has a tendency to reach and grab when he gets antsy.
- Not great in man coverage. Does not have elite speed and loses speed/gears down while turning.
- Zone-specific prospect who is likely only a fit in nickel or dime packages with predominantly man-to-man teams.
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
