Strengths

• 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.
• He wins with all-out hustle, second and third effort and will contribute in the NFL.
• Easily gains inside leverage by shooting gaps.
• Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
• Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.
• 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.
• Flashes nimble feet to chase running backs and mobile quarterbacks to the sideline when lined up at end. Spins off blocks to get back into the play.
• Flashes strength at the point of attack with active, violent hand use. Forceful with his upper body to defeat blocks. Strong hustle player.

Weaknesses

• 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.
• Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
