Strengths
  • Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
  • Gives up his body in run support with a very good closing burst.
  • Has good body control and balance to redirect and break down in the open field.
  • Good hustle player who puts himself in the action when he's not directly involved. Knows how to use his height and vertical leap.
  • Tough and scrappy with forceful nature to be physical at all levels of the field. Has good bulk on his frame to be aggressive in run support.
Weaknesses
  • Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
  • Takes poor angles on the ball and lacks the pure speed to chase down the ballcarrier.
  • Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
  • Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
  • Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
