Scouting Report
A very strong lineman who can play a wide variety of positions along the defensive line, his biggest strength is in stopping the running game. Is ideally suited to play as a 3-4 defensive end. Owns some untapped upside as an all-round D-lineman. Needs to gain more bulk in order to maximize output at the highest level. Struggles to generate a dominant pass rush and needs a lot of work on his moves to get to the quarterback. Lacks both speed and quickness off the line of scrimmage.
Long Range Potential: Enigmatic, yet somewhat talented D-lineman with some upside.
