Scouting Report

Assets
  • Explosive out of his stance. Has great acceleration. Left tackles just can't get position on him. Lowers his shoulder and punishes quarterbacks. Pursues plays well from behind and doesn't quit. Has become a multi-dimensional pass rusher.
Flaws
  • Like most speed rushers, he struggles when the opponent runs right at him. Gets worn down by double teams. Has injury problems.
Career Potential
  • Excellent starter.
