strengths

• He has the intriguing size and frame for an NFL linebacker who converted from the safety position. 
  
• He is long, spindly, athletic, and has heavy hands that allow him to elude blockers.
  
• He is a violent player that tends to show up on film, raising eyebrows at his play, exploding through the run gaps.
  
• He penetrates through the A-gaps so quickly that it gives the opposing guards headaches.
  
• He is a tremendous blitzing linebacker the flies downhill so quickly that the quarterback has no time to react.
  
• He has excellent sideline-to-sideline speed with closing speed to make the tackles.
  
• He is extremely a hard hitter shoots out like a missile toward his target.
• As a former defensive back, his cover skills allow him to cover backs and tight ends downfield.
  

weakness

• He does not possess the strength to constantly shed blocks, as only 15 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press at the 2023 NFL Combine.
  
• He needs to add more weight to his frame, needs more strength at the point of attack, and will struggle to shed tight ends or athletic tackles.
  
• He does not wrap tackles as he should, always looking for the big hit.
  
• He will side-step blockers at the second level and get flushed out if he cannot get his hands up quickly to work against the defender.
  
• Outside run plays, he can get tardy trying to predict the play and will not beat the blocker at the point.
