Strengths

• Has fluid footwork to redirect, reverse momentum and close with a burst. Regularly first off the ball with good snap anticipation.
• Possesses accurate snap anticipation and timing to beat blockers off the edge.
• He wins with all-out hustle, second and third effort and will contribute in the NFL.
• Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.
• Has the pursuit skills to stay in the action. Anticipates the snap. Country strong and very physical; seeks contact.

Weaknesses

• Doesn't change direction easily. Can be late off the snap.
• Not a natural bender and lacks fluid change-of-direction ability. Plays with inconsistent pad level and is often knocked backward off the snap.
• Rarely the first player off the snap, even when lined up over the ball, but his length, effort and short-area quickness still pressures double teams and helps penetrate gaps.
• Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
• His overachiever mentality helps but he's stiff and upright, a one-speed runner who won't wow athletically but has no limit to his fight. He'll be a mid-round pick and quality reserve in the NFL.
