Scouting Report

Assets
  • Tall, strong, quick and has good speed and balance. Aggressively goes after ball carriers but will also drop back well in pass coverage. Can make some plays in pursuit.
Flaws
  • Somehow goes unnoticed on the field. Doesn't always anticipate plays well, doesn't show a noticeable mean streak, and he isn't a lights-out hitter. Hasn't developed quickly at the NFL level.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent linebacker with some decent potential.
  • Awards
