Scouting Report

Assets
  • Excellent tackler. Hits hard and wraps. Fills well on the interior line. Gets over trash and takes good angles in pursuit. Has good range in coverage and doesn't get lost in zones. Blitzes effectively up the A gap.
Flaws
  • Bites on play fakes and makes some bad reads. Still developing his instincts. Tackle totals were inflated by playing for a defense that was always on the field.
Career Potential
  • Excellent starter. Top prospect.
