STRENGTHS

• He has excellent agility and the ability to scan gap runs.
• He has excellent acceleration to read the run and beat the blocker to the gap.
• He has excellent range and can go sideline-to-sideline to make plays.
• He will navigate through traffic and is patient to allow the play to develop before exploding the gap to make the tackle.
• He is a big hitter, a thumper, always bringing the hat.
• He is limited with his upper body strength but uses his hand swell to extend away the body of the linemen to make plays.
• Posses good instincts and can play as a spy against the quarterback, scramble drills, and pursue to develop sacks.
• He can cover the backs out of the backfield or tight ends down the field. 

WEAKNESS

• He needs to add more strength and will struggle at the next level against the heavier, stronger offensive lineman.
  
• At the point of contact, the lineman will w him up even when he uses his hands to extend for leverage or shedding blocks.
  
• He is a heavy hitter but not violent while making tackles.
  
• He is a one-trick pony on the blitz and has no counter-move when picked up by the blocker.
  
• He is too aggressive and will suffer when unable to chop his feet before making tackles and will miss.
  
• In pass zone coverages of play action, he will stare in the backfield and, when faked, attempts to backpedal and is caught out of position. 
  
• He will need to focus on flipping his hips quicker to get his head around to make plays on passes completed by his reach.
  

Draft Projection: 5th - 6th Round
