A very energetic linebacker, he possessed good tackling ability and he blitzed well. Had good vision of the field, anticipated well, and made plays thanks to surprising closing speed. Took awhile to develop and was somewhat raw. Was a much better run stuffer than pass defender. Did not have the speed to cover opponents on short-yardage passes. Bit on fakes too much.

Long Range Potential: Adequate, rotational linebacker and solid special teamer.
