Scouting Report
Well-rounded and high-motor at outside linebacker. Constantly hustling to make plays, and has the effort and hands to get into the backfield. Doesn't give up when blocked and has big, powerful hands that help him disengage and stuff the run. Also gets his hands up in passing lanes. Lacks ideal size, fluidity, and explosiveness at outside linebacker. While he can get to the QB on some plays he has a tough time getting the edge on tough pass-blockers. Also not speedy or agile in one-on-one assignments with big receivers.
Long Range Potential: Energetic edge rusher and special teams player.
