Scouting Report
Is versatile enough to drop into coverage from time to time, like a true outside linebacker, but he is far more defensive end than 'backer at the NFL level. Is adept at rushing the passer, using quickness, deceptive moves and smarts to get to the quarterback. Lacks the strength to handle O-linemen that are significantly bulkier than he is. Can be inconsistent in terms of sacks.
Long Range Potential: Solid edge rusher.
