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.
