– Solid production considering he had just one year of football experience before entering college

– Impressive closing speed
– Periodically shows technique to shed blocks against the run
– Good burst off the line of scrimmage

THE BAD
– Less experience means less time for refinement, and technique and instincts aren’t perfect
– Lack of instincts/experience makes him susceptible to fakes
– Struggles to get off blocks consistently if he doesn’t win at the point of attack
– Even though he has good closing speed, he sometimes lunges at the ball carrier from a distance instead of waiting
– Doesn’t set the edge consistently against the run
– Needs more counter moves when rushing the passer
– Could stand to vary his speed more to make his rush moves less predictable
– Overall tackling technique needs to be refined
– Career: 116 tackles, 24.
