Scouting Report
Truly a rare combination of athleticism, football IQ, and solid size at linebacker. Makes plays all over the field and in mostly every situation, thanks to fantastic patience, anticipation, and fluid explosiveness. A sure-handed tackling machine who's very fast sideline-to-sideline, with the length and strength to be above average on the pass rush and in man coverage. Positionally versatile. A major knee injury in college casts some doubt about whether he can consistently keep his elite movement tools; must show he can stay healthy. Can use some added muscle mass on his wiry frame, especially for playing outside linebacker.
Long Range Potential: Super-athletic playmaking star linebacker (when healthy).
