A fourth-round draft pick out of the University of West Virginia, he plays the game with sheer determination and reckless abandon. Can pile up tackles from the inside linebacker position and is capable of playing either the middle linebacker position (in a 4-3 scheme) or as part of an inside 'backer tandem in a 3-4 system. Is not much of a pass rusher but he can cover tight ends when asked to do so. That said, his bread and butter is making hard-hitting tackles against the run. | |
Long Range Potential: | Solid inside linebacker. |
