Scouting Report
Dominant in the middle of the D-line: constantly threatens for (and gets) sacks with his powerful bull-rush. Aggressive, and explodes off the snap. Very fast and highly athletic for a defensive tackle. Draws a lot of attention from opposing offensive linemen. Can do more picking up the run considering his excellent mobility and athleticism. While he's a forceful powerhouse, he's a bit undersized for an interior defensive lineman. Sometimes his aggressiveness overflows into unnecessary penalties.
Long Range Potential: Dominant pocket-collapsing defensive tackle.
