Scouting Report
Has a real knack for getting after the quarterback. Highly instinctive and has a never-ending motor, with top-tier skills to disengage from blocks. Explodes through the line and does a solid job staying aware to pick up the run along the way. Plays bigger than his size thanks to a great wingspan. Possesses the game of a pure pass rusher but has the size of an outside linebacker. Can be a bit one-dimensional as a player constantly on the pass rush, and must improve his skills at pass coverage and run-stuffing. Not a burner in open space.
Long Range Potential: Explosive pass rusher with good all-round upside.
