Scouting Report

Assets
  • Still has a tremendous first step and burst. Has multiple moves to the quarterback. Sniffs out screens and draws. Not a great point-of-attack defender, but has learned to blast his blocker into the backfield and disrupt the play.
Flaws
  • Got flagged a lot last year and may be guessing the snap count to compensate for declining speed. Has one eye on his post-football career and may no longer be hungry.
Career Potential
  • Fading superstar.
