Strengths

• Sacks and pressures are product of hustle. Gives effort on every play. Holds the point with length and strong upper body.
• Easily gains inside leverage by shooting gaps.
• Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
• Has fluid footwork to redirect, reverse momentum and close with a burst. Regularly first off the ball with good snap anticipation.
• Coordinated with smooth movement skills. High-effort rusher and works through the whistle. Relentless worker, fighting off blocks and battling to the ball.

Weaknesses

• Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
• Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
• Not a natural bender and lacks fluid change-of-direction ability. Plays with inconsistent pad level and is often knocked backward off the snap.
• Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
• Not explosive as a pass rusher or run defender. Lacks elite speed and flexibility to turn the corner and is late off the snap.
