Strengths

• Gets pressures on inside stunts and was too explosive for college guards to handle.
• Greet feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, giving up few yards after the catch. Possesses straight-line speed to stay with or chase down receivers in man.
• 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.
• Work in progress as a pass rusher, with upfield burst and flexibility to dip and scrape.
• Looks the part. Good height and a thick, muscular build. Long arms. Good overall athleticism and straight-line speed.

Weaknesses

• Generally an effective openfield tackler but doesn't wrap up consistently. Shows only average awareness in coverage.
• Must work on using violent hands and defeating cut blocks. Also needs to build a variety of pass-rush moves.
• His lateral agility and burst often put him in position to make big plays, but he takes questionable routes to the ball and struggles to avoid blockers when in pursuit.
• Loses size battle to many tight ends and is easily pushed away on out routes.
• Lacks the strength to blow up fullbacks and bulk/length to prevent getting engulfed by better linemen at the second level.
