Strengths

• Keeps feet moving after initial contact. Jumps inside as a counter to typical rush, but needs to show a larger variety of moves.
• Looks the part with a strong, long frame with good arm length. Fluid and flexible athlete with agile footwork and explosive get-off quickness.
• Gets his hands in the passing lanes. Effort is mere in coverage.
• Good all-around athlete with very good short-area quickness and fluidity. Very good playing strength and has worked hard in the weight room, adding bulk and filling out his frame.
• Works hard to get better and gives top effort on every play. Heads-up defender who shows good field awareness.

Weaknesses

• Builds to top speed and must take the right line to beat backs to the edge.
• Possesses average instincts. More likely to make plays with quick reactions than by diagnosing.
• Does not blow up targets. Many inside tackles are catch-and-drags, which will be more difficult to make at the next level.
• Needs work on angles and· finding receivers in zone. Does not possess elite quickness. Fails to break down at times, grabbing shoulder pads and lunging to allow ballcarriers to elude him.
• Attacks the line but needs work on stacking and shedding blocks.
