Scouting Report
Is able to rush the passer off the edge with aplomb, thanks to his excellent jump off the snap. Does a solid job with his hands to get off pass coverage blocks and is highly persistent en route to the QB. Keeps fighting throughout the play. Is also a good athlete, overall. Is not well-sized for a pro defensive end, while as a linebacker he can at times struggle to pick up the run or drop back to cover receivers. While a good chase-and-tackle pass rusher, he is not a big hitter who will often jar the ball loose from carriers. Durability can be an issue in the NFL, too.
Long Range Potential: Excellent pass rusher.
