Scouting Report
The undersized linebacker plays better on the edge than inside, though with limited tools for the NFL. His lack of size means he can be overpowered by tight ends, especially on out routes. He has the speed to play sideline to sideline but needs to have his motor running on every play. Must also improve his recognition instincts.
Long Range Potential: Backup edge rusher and strong special teams performer.
