SCOUTING REPORT
Strengths:

Powerful pass rusher, that does a good job of setting the edge. He has an NFL ready build. Explosiveness first step off the snap. Violent with his punch and hand use on lineman. Brings good football IQ and a non-stop motor to a defensive line. He has experience rushing from the edge and interior.

Weaknesses:

He isn't very flexible and won't always win with a speed rush. Lengthy injury history, that includes a torn ACL and hip injury (missed all of the 2014 season). Not a ton of tape on him as he's played just 18 collegiate games. Plays overaggressive at times and gives up contain.
