Strengths

• Flashes nimble feet to chase running backs and mobile quarterbacks to the sideline when lined up at end. Spins off blocks to get back into the play.
• Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
• Delivers a strong punch and uses his hands to shed blocks to make plays in the hole or outside the box. Uses lower-body strength to anchor inside.
• Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
• Agile run-stopper at end, extends to grab backs from the backside and possesses foot quickness and hustle to chase plays downfield. or to the sideline.

Weaknesses

• Never out of a play, but can get out of control and work himself away from the action.
• Rarely the first player off the snap, even when lined up over the ball, but his length, effort and short-area quickness still pressures double teams and helps penetrate gaps.
• Plays tall and gets upright off the snap. Wins with upper-body strength and needs to focus on leverage.
• Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
• Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
