Highly explosive off the snap and into the backfield. Gains the edge lightning-fast, then uses quick moves, strength, and leverage to get past his blocker heading to the QB. Very strong for his size and can be very hard to contain for even mobile O-linemen. Can create turnovers with his stripping, hitting, and disruption. Not ideally-sized for a true defensive end, and isn't a consistent tackler for an outside linebacker. Will overrun his target at times in the backfield, and can seem a bit tentative sometimes when plays break down. Has the athleticism to be much more than just a sack artist. | |
