Strengths

• Tough between-the-tackles defender who shimmies past blockers to fill lanes. Downhill, aggressive run-stuffer with enough strength to stop ballcarriers in the hole.
• Gives effort between the tackles to find the ball and is willing to take on linemen.
• Quick to read run, showing good agility and speed to get past blockers and finish. Experienced in coverage and gets a strong jam on outside receivers.
• Gets his hands in the passing lanes. Effort is mere in coverage.
• He has good reaction skills and awareness. Forceful tackler vs. the run.

Weaknesses

• Chase speed is below average, and he gets too upright as a pass rusher - needs to play with better leverage.
• High-cut and long-legged, and he does not have elite acceleration.
• Attacks the line but needs work on stacking and shedding blocks.
• Can be too hesitant when he doesn't find the ball immediately.
• He'll add quality depth but must earn more than a backup/special teams role.
