STRENGHTS

• He has an excellent knack for locating the football against the run game.
  
• Like a rugby play, he gobbles up running backs at the line of scrimmage.
  
• He has excellent gap integrity; he will not make in reaction deviating away from his scheme while eyeing out the running back.
  
• A plus for the next level, he has impeccable read and reaction while running downhill to defend against the run.
  
• He is a good fit as a 3-4 inside linebacker, as he made a living watching bigger defensive tackles engage with linemen and penetrate the gap to make tackles.
  
• He is a knowledgeable and cerebral player who can adjust his defense to pre-snap and regulate to the defenders.
  
• A great tackler will get low, wrap up the runner, and tackle him at the initial point of contact.
  
• He has excellent instincts; ex-safety allows him to drop back in coverage and create problems for tight ends and running backs.
  

WEAKNESSES

• He needs to function better by keeping the massive interior offensive lineman from washing him out of plays.
  
• He will need to improve his methods of shedding blocks and will get caught slipping by the big blockers.
  
• He must gain the range to chase down runners from behind, or he will pursue in bad angles.
  
• He demonstrates having tight hips and could be more fluid in switching them, as he will need help changing direction.
  
• He will be prone to attacks in man coverages by athletic tight ends who can run right past him. 
  
• He suffered a severe foot injury, and his age (24 years old), will alert teams to go younger and drop his stock
