Energetic, explosive, and high-motor until the whistle. Reads blocking well and does a nice job eluding opponents en route to the quarterback. Able to consistently get around the edge and pressure the QB, and is very active adjusting to pick up the run. Constantly pursuing the ball-carrier, and productive all-round. Must show his history of substance-related off-field problems are in the past. Maturity and character are concerns. Not ideally-sized for an NFL end, and gets pinballed around the pocket sometimes by massive blockers. Doesn't have a great counter move once O-tackles get a lock on. While explosive & quick, he's not fast downfield. | |
Long Range Potential: | High-motor pass rusher with upside (if focused). |
