game highlights
TENNESSEE VOLS

strengths

  • He is an unbelievable athlete with an admirable, tough, and lengthy physical frame.
  • He has a fantastic combination of infrequent speed and explosiveness as an EDGE rusher.
  • He plays with a high motor and can change direction and reset to contain his edge.
  • He plays well in space, always around the ball, causing havoc.
  • His speed comes out of nowhere to snatch down runners from behind or breach the line of scrimmage.
  • He takes good angles and changes gear to get downhill to the ball.
  • He shows some signs of flexible body bending to get around the edge.
  • Has a second gear to get to the passer and finish plays

weakness

  • He displays lower body tightness which inhibits his mobility.
  • He has a high ceiling; however still raw with more potential to create overall techniques.
  • He struggles to shed blocks and does not look comfortable using his hands.
  • He needs to possess better instincts; he will struggle with reading and reacting.
  • He uses a great deal of seedy movement when pursuing the ball.
  • He must find better rush moves on passing downs and rely on something other than his athletic ability.
Draft Projection: 1st Round (late) - 3rd Round

NFL Comparison: Bruce Irvings (Seattle Seahawks)
