Superb at forcing his way into the backfield for sacks, and causes teams to gameplan for him. Also a supremely strong tackler who will cause havoc and force fumbles. A productive run-stopper, and does a nice job dropping back to cover receivers when needed. Comes from a highly successful college program and knows how to play. Not ideally-sized for the NFL end position, and also lacks the muscle mass and bulk needed to dominate blockers. Doesn't have top-tier speed off the snap either. Needs to prove he has the explosiveness and raw strength to excel as a pro. | |
Long Range Potential: | Forceful, well-rounded pass-rushing linebacker. |
