Scouting Report
Very productive as a tackler. Able to get into the backfield and pressure the QB. Impressively disruptive overall. His big hands are an asset in one-on-one battles. Can do more in pass coverage. Not ideally bulky for a pro linebacker. Would benefit by adding more muscle and strength.
Long Range Potential: Talented linebacker with some starter tools.
