Strengths

• High-effort, thickly built defender with good strength and the leverage to create a pile. Locates_ the ball quickly and pursues with passion, showing_ good lateral agility while extending the play to the sideline.
• He wins with all-out hustle, second and third effort and will contribute in the NFL.
• 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.
• Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.

Weaknesses

• Lacks the speed to turn the corner consistently and is too often washed out by stronghanded blockers.
• 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.
