Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 3 - Pick Number: 79 (LV)
Strengths
- Challenges inside with quickness and strong hands. Run-and-chase defender who can leave a mark.
- Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
- Flashes strength at the point of attack with active, violent hand use. Forceful with his upper body to defeat blocks. Strong hustle player.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
- Relentless and strong off the edge as a pass rusher when fresh. Gets under the pads of tackles to bull rush them into the backfield.
Weaknesses
- Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
- Uncreative pass rusher who lacks counter moves. Raw technique. Streaky and slow to react.
- Average athletically with average straight line speed and tight hips. Not a natural bender. Lacks secondary pass-rush moves.
- Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
- Not an elite athlete with average functional strength and size. Lacks the length to fend off blocks and can be too energetic and lose his angle. Doesn't have a natural position at the next level.

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.
