STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

• He has a nice bulky frame that will benefit him as an NFL safety or hybrid linebacker.
• He is a challenging and physical player with a destructive play manner all over the field. 
• He plays with a high motor and will get downhill quickly in run support.
• He is fearless in sticking his nose in places that most defensive backs will avoid.
• He will lay the wood, and the ball's movement usually terminates his mission.
• He possesses good speed as he shows his short-area burst to close in tackles or break on the ball.
• He is a cerebral player with good instincts for reacting to the ball for turnovers.
• He has good awareness and technique, very effective as a blitzer
• Increased his stock significantly at Penn St. pro day with excellent numbers and field drills.

• He is an aggressive player, allowing his overaggressiveness to play against him.
• ​He gambles a lot and takes risks trying to make a significant play.
• He played a lot as a hybrid linebacker; he is still raw at the position and needs to develop more technique and mechanics.
• His physicalness allows him constantly to make the big hit, sometimes missing the tackle.
• He needs to work on disengaging off blocks more and staying in the play.
• He is susceptible to the quarterback's eyes as they can look at him and come right back to through in his coverage.
• He needs to travel better in space when coming up for the tackles and will need to develop on breaking down better in play.
