Scouting Report

Assets
  • Exceptional quickness and athleticism. Can beat most blockers to the edge and has the strength to make them pay when they are off balance. Pursues running plays away from him well and has a knack for sniffing out screens and misdirection.
Flaws
  • Still learning his inside moves to the quarterback. Despite his strength, he has trouble on plays right at him and can be pushed back if a blocker latches on.
Career Potential
  • Excellent starter.
