Scouting Report

Assets
  • A unique athlete who can play low despite a 6-7 frame, explode out of his stance, and still hold his ground against the run. A tremendous pass rusher with speed to the corner and some inside moves. Pursues very well on plays away from him.
Flaws
  • Very streaky and his game-to-game motor is questionable; seems to turn his A-game on and off. Can get overaggressive in the pass rush and taken out of the play by an experienced blocker.
Career Potential
  • Pro Bowl pass rusher.
