strengths

weakness

• He is a cerebral play with a high-range quick thinker that absorbs and reacts quickly to the offense.
• He can diagnose against zone versus gap runs to establish himself in a position to make the play.
• He has excellent size, length, speed, frame, and long arms for the prototypical NFL linebacker. 
• He is equipped with the size and strength to prevent blockers from stopping his patch to the runner.
• He plays with a high motor, never slacking, always playing thru the whistle.
• He uses his speed in pursuit of the runner with excellent angles to create more frequent plays.
• He can shed blocks at the point of attack with his upper body strength as an offensive lineman.
• As a tackler, he always wraps the runner-up with excellent pad level.
• He flies downhill in a cinch filling the run lanes with good angles.
• He has excellent eye and hand coordination, as discipline recognizes the danger in the zone.

• He is not fluid and needs loose hips to run with craft-skill players.
• His tightness caused him not to redirect and pursue players after beating him.
• He can easily be baited in pre-snap formation and gets captured looking in the backfield.
• He will lose ground by stopping driving his feet while taking on the block squarely, and looses leverage at the point of attack.
• He offers nothing as a pass rusher as he relies on his power by trying to run through the offensive blocker.
• He has subpar speed when needed to drop back in coverage and needs to run with the receiver.

Draft Projection: 2nd - 4th Round
