Very active and mobile for his size and a productive tackler. Also solid getting into the backfield and is a factor for sacks. Has a good frame for a big / strong-side linebacker. Has the frame, athleticism, and foot-speed to add much more muscle without losing much mobility (and should be able to play more end as a pro). Has the length and agility to be far more productive getting his hands up in passing lanes and batting passes down. Also needs continued improvement in getting off blocks and showing he can consistently get to the QB. Has a fairly significant injury history and must show he can stay healthy.

Long Range Potential: Classic strong-side linebacker, with starter tools.
