Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has the fluid hips and long arms to turn and run with tight ends, as well as excellent range when dropping into zone coverage.
- He’s excellent changing direction, an agile mover who can win by countering inside and exploding with impressive burst when closing.
- He’s built like a defensive back but hits like a linebacker. Milano has sideline-to-sideline range and is a violent, wrap-up hitter.
- Good athlete. Shows a natural feel for pass rushing. Very good lateral agility to shake pass blockers.
- Hopper has the kind of turn-and-run fluidity to be used in man coverage as well, able to run with tight ends and running backs.
- Plays fast, flows with the action, showing smooth lateral agility and short-area burst. Has good instincts and awareness to quickly find the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s very much a work in progress, with a limited repertoire of pass-rush moves and an inability to use his hands effectively.
- Generally an effective openfield tackler but doesn't wrap up consistently. Shows only average awareness in coverage.
- He’s more of a grab-and-drag tackler who could stand to be more violent as a hitter.
