strengths

weakness

• His thick, bulked frame leaves his body breaking hits as a tackler.
• He plays with an unbelievably high motor while on the prowl and always keeps a radar in his eyes.
• He is a solid run-stopper who will fly downhill in a feisty manner and dislodge the ball from ball carriers. 
• He uses the combination of speed and power to blitz in the run gaps and, while on the blitz, is cerebral enough to recognize a run play.
• He does not shy away from contact with the lineman as he will meet them head-on and can shed the block.
• He scrapes through traffic to get to the run gaps keeping his body squared to his target.
• He has above-average lateral speed to get sideline to sideline to make tackles on draws and RPOs.

• Some teams may shy away from drafting as he is a 24-year-old rookie.
• He is not fluid in the hips, needs more flexibility for zone/man turns, and change-of-direction ability will be heightened at the next level.
• He needs help identifying a lineman that will pull or combinate blocks and wash him out of the play.
• He needs to solidify gap integrity when playing out the scope of the defensive scheme in the box.
• He missed too many tackles due to a short tackling radius and was not able to shed blocks while in pursuit

Draft Projection: 7th Round - UDFA (Priority)
