Strengths

• Physical downfield and matches up well with bigger receivers. Tough and fiery with very good competitiveness. High-effort player.
• Strong hands to make plays on the ball, effective blitzer who shows well-coached technique and awareness.
• Has good foot quickness and short-area burst to work well in tight areas.
• Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
• Tough and scrappy with forceful nature to be physical at all levels of the field. Has good bulk on his frame to be aggressive in run support.

Weaknesses

• Lacks instincts with shaky awareness, is overaggressive and too often bites on fakes and misdirection.
• Too hands-on downfield and has suspect instincts.
• Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
• Has a high backpedal and loses a step in transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL.
• Willing but not threatening tackler. Doesn't have the quick-twitch reaction when he gears down to rebuild to top speed. More instinctive than explosive.
