Strengths

• High-effort, thickly built defender with good strength and the leverage to create a pile. Locates_ the ball quickly and pursues with passion, showing_ good lateral agility while extending the play to the sideline.
• He wins with all-out hustle, second and third effort and will contribute in the NFL.
• Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
• 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.
• Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.

Weaknesses

• Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
• Uncreative pass rusher who lacks counter moves. Raw technique. Streaky and slow to react.
• Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
• Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
• He doesn't have the elite quickness or flexibility to flatten off the edge against NFL blockers and might have to add bulk to be a 3-4 defense five-technique, or strong-side end in a 4-3.
