Scouting Report
Was very athletic on the defensive line and displayed burst, strength and speed to crush the line and get to the quarterback. He possessed a good all-around game and approach, and read offenses' tendencies well. He sometimes did not use his frame to his advantage in stuffing the run, and he was not really a tackling machine who could anchor the line to stop the running game. He additionally did not get his hands up enough to disrupt passing lanes in coverage.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, versatile defensive lineman.
