Pittsburgh Steelers 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.
