Stays on the field most downs as a defensive leader and play caller focused on run defense. Makes the majority of his stops near the line of scrimmage. Compiles high tackle counts with range to both sidelines. Is used heavily in blitz schemes and can be a modest source of sacks and pocket pressure. Can be overmatched in coverage and will surrender gains as a pass defender. His outlook somewhat clouded after a full year of rehab following major knee surgery. | |
Long Range Potential: | Productive, playmaking inside linebacker (when healthy). |
