Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the best edge rushers in the NFL. Can beat most left tackles off the ball. Has several moves and can get inside his blocker. An effective point-of-attack defender because he slips tackles so well. Hits hard and will jar the ball loose.
Flaws
  • Rarely drops into coverage and isn't great when he does it.
Career Potential
  • Pro Bowler.
