Very crafty, instinctive, and elusive getting into the opposing backfield. Uses some nice moves and stutter-steps off his excellent first step to freeze blockers. Very productive and hard-working as a tackler. Simply makes plays all along the D-line. Not particularly fast or fluid, and would benefit by playing with more balance and knee-bend. Comes with durability concerns due to his lack of ideal size and a spinal issue diagnosed in college. Gets upright and could do more adjusting in space for pass coverage.

Long Range Potential: Playmaking outside linebacker.
