Scouting Report: Strengths
- Understands zone concepts and is aware of his surroundings. Reliable tackler who reacts quickly when Lawrence sees it.
- Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
- Has quick feet and excellent change-of-direction ability, capable of mirroring quickness underneath.
- 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.
- Lawrence can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Willing but not threatening tackler. Doesn't have the quick-twitch reaction when Lawrence gears down to rebuild to top speed. More instinctive than explosive.
- Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
- NFL teams are going to test him deep early on, and he’ll also be prone to flags since he’s grabby downfield.
- Questionable technique and he gets lazy with fundamentals, sometimes getting high in his backpedal and will breach the coverage call seeking flashy plays
