Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 4 - Pick Number: 140 (PIT)
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.

*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.
