Strengths
- Gives effort between the tackles to find the ball and is willing to take on linemen.
- Has good balance and short-area burst to stay on his feet through contact
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
- Flashes strength to punch or stiff-arm to get off blocks. Stays with plays downfield, often making tackles even after being hit by multiple linemen.
- Strong and stout against the run, filling lanes with power and an attacking mentality.
Weaknesses
- Lacks fluidity to hold up in space or drop in coverage. Washed out and caught in traffic in the middle of the field.
- Lacks elite quickness and change-of-direction ability to handle NFL slot receivers after initial contact.
- Chase speed is below average, and he gets too upright as a pass rusher - needs to play with better leverage.
- Limited vision and is easily fooled by misdirection. Lacks range and lateral agility in coverage.
- He's a tweener who lacks the bulk and strength to be a thumper inside and isn't fast enough to stay on the weak side in the NFL.
