Scouting Report
A sack artist who can also contain the run effectively. Possesses good overall size and bulk, along with above-average speed. A solid athlete for his size and can play either end or outside. Does a nice job in pass coverage as well, and will pick the odd one off. Not a tackling demon and doesn't always stay in the play when his sack chance has fizzled. Durability has become an issue, and he needs to show he can stay on the field and retain his usual explosiveness.
Long Range Potential: Excellent pass rusher.
