Strengths
  • Trusts his eyes and shows no hesitation with good anticipation to avoid blockers.
  • 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.
  • A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
  • Tougher between the tackles than many expect. Fluid and quick drop into zone, covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 "MIKE" and knows where the markers are.
Weaknesses
  • Slips off too many ballcarriers and needs to complete tackles - will go for the big hit instead of consistently wrapping up.
  • Doesn't have enough speed, power or bulk to fit any LB position perfectly in the NFL.
  • Lacks the strength to blow up fullbacks and bulk/length to prevent getting engulfed by better linemen at the second level.
  • 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.
  • More of a straight-line athlete with some stiffness in his hips to slow .his change of direction.
