Strengths

• Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
• Aggressive with good awareness to track the ball and attack. Tenacious, tough, competItIve and versatile.
• Coordinated with smooth movement skills. High-effort rusher and works through the whistle. Relentless worker, fighting off blocks and battling to the ball.
• Excellent hustle-and-chase tackler. Good closing speed with change of direction to corral mobile quarterbacks.
• Average quickness and power and his bull rush will be stonewalled. Comes off the snap high, losing leverage.

Weaknesses

• Not a quick-twitch player. Won't consistently threaten the edge. Few explosive qualities and lacks great initial burst or overall range for the position.
• Lacks the speed to turn the corner consistently and is too often washed out by stronghanded blockers.
• Not overly flexible or loose. Limited, predictable pass-rush arsenal. Struggles to locate the ball at times and needs to do a better job with his read-and-react skills.
• He doesn't have the elite quickness or flexibility to flatten off the edge against NFL blockers and might have to add bulk to be a 3-4 defense five-technique, or strong-side end in a 4-3.
• Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
