Strengths

• Intelligent player who can play "MIKE" linebacker despite his lack of size because of his instincts and ability to find the ball in traffic.
• Quick to read run, showing good agility and speed to get past blockers and finish. Experienced in coverage and gets a strong jam on outside receivers.
• Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.

Weaknesses

• Attacks the line but needs work on stacking and shedding blocks.
• Lacks functional strength to shed and take on blocks at the point of attack.
• Loses size battle to many tight ends and is easily pushed away on out routes.
• Saught looking into the backfield occasionally instead of getting to the receiver in the flat. Leaves his feet at times while tackling, and NFL backs will take advantage of that.
• Inconsistent hustle. Only adequate change-of-direction ability. Also loses his balance too often in the open field. Lacks size to bull rush stronger tackles.
