A true hard-hitting thumper at inside linebacker. Loves to line up opponents and deliver punishment, and uses exceptional athleticism, speed, and power to do it. Is always looking to dole out the big wallop, and brings rare intensity and motor to the field. Also possesses the agility and desire to both sack the QB and drop back to cover receivers when needed. A special teams ace too. Gets over-aggressive in general, both in reading plays and in looking for big hits rather than wrapping up his tackling. Will lunge and get off-balance at times. Durability is a concern considering his past and his playing style. Additionally, he's been in major off-field trouble. | |
Long Range Potential: | Top-tier, super-physical big-play inside linebacker. |
