Strengths

• Understands zone concepts and is aware of his surroundings. Reliable tackler who reacts quickly when he sees it.
• Very good instincts, especially in the box. Sound and solid tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit.
• Takes accurate angles to the ballcarrier. A strong, aggressive tackler and doesn't back down against the run.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Flashes some physicality as a hitter.

Weaknesses

• Doesn't look comfortable in reverse and can't be trusted in man coverage on an island - sloppy transition and is not explosive.
• Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
• Lacks elite speed to recover if beaten on double move. Ducks his head and swipes too often on open-field tackles.
• Overaggressive and will miss tackle attempts. Needs to do a better job breaking down in space and using proper technique. Suspect anticipation and ball skills.
• Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
