Was a high-energy, disruptive and active tackler. Was agile in space and quick to the ball-carrier. Brought a mix of solid overall mobility, athleticism and length to the field. Had some evasive moves and did a solid job of getting off blocks from much bigger players. Showed enough range to go sideline to sideline. Never fully developed as a pass-rusher. Was not a burner in the open field. Lacked some bulk, as he did not have much upper-body muscle mass to compete when massive NFL blockers got a lock on (and adding more mass could have contributed to less mobility).

Long Range Potential: Solid inside linebacker.
