Strengths

• Good hustle player who puts himself in the action when he's not directly involved. Knows how to use his height and vertical leap.
• Willing and successful blitzing off the edge. Consideration for a move to safety with a combination of range and sure tackling.
• Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
• Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.
• Lean, athletic build with plenty of room for additional muscle mass. Legitimate NFL-caliber athlete.

Weaknesses

• Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
• Has a high backpedal and loses a step in transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL.
• Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
• Lacks instincts with shaky awareness, is overaggressive and too often bites on fakes and misdirection.
• Takes poor angles on the ball and lacks the pure speed to chase down the ballcarrier.
