Scouting Report
An extremely active and versatile player that can also line up at linebacker. Has excellent raw speed, tenacity and pass-rushing skills. Also displays the mobility and awareness needed to adjust in coverage and pick up the run. Overall technique isn't top-notch. Lacks the poise and execution to explode through the line and make plays into the backfield. Still inconsistent. Needs to prove he's not an underachiever.
Long Range Potential: Quality defensive end / versatile defender.
