Scouting Report

Assets
  • An intense competitor who brings a lot to the defensive line. Has size, power and quickness. Can come off the edge, collapse the pocket and stop the run. Has solid fundamentals.
Flaws
  • Not an elite edge pursuer due to average foot-speed. May be better suited to certain defensive set-ups than others. A bit of a slow reactor. Stamina is also a cause of concern.
Career Potential
  • Good depth defender with some nice tools.
  • Awards
