Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the NFL's best edge rushers: can beat most left tackles off the ball, hits hard, and will jar the ball loose. Has several moves and can get inside his blocker. An effective point-of-attack defender because he slips tackles so well.
Flaws
  • Has become highly injury-prone. Doesn't make as many plays in pursuit as he used to. Rarely drops into coverage and isn't great when he does it. Has been in some off-field trouble.
Career Potential
  • Pro Bowler (when healthy).
  • AwardsNFL - Named to play in Pro BowlNFL - Named to play in Pro BowlNFL - Named to play in Pro BowlNFL - Defensive Rookie of the Year
