Scouting Report

Assets
  • An extremely active and versatile player that can also line up at linebacker. Has excellent raw speed, tenacity and pass-rushing skills. Also displays the mobility and awareness needed to adjust in coverage and pick up the run.
Flaws
  • Overall technique isn't top-notch. Lacks the poise and execution to explode through the line and make plays into the backfield. Still inconsistent. Needs to prove he's not an underachiever.
Career Potential
  • Slightly above-average defensive end / versatile defender.
  • Awards
