Scouting Report: Strengths
- Major can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
- Combines very good instincts with above-average reaction skills. Almost always finds the ball in traffic.
- Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
- Plays fast, flows with the action, showing smooth lateral agility and short-area burst. Has good instincts and awareness to quickly find the ball.
- A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
- Major plays bigger than his listed size, with the functional strength and motor to take on and hold ground against much bigger blockers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s often slow to react and locate the ball against the run.
- 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.
- Lacks the fluidity and speed to turn and run with tight ends in coverage.
