Strengths:
Dynamic playmaker with plus athletic ability. Versatility to rush off the edge or play inside. A run and hit type linebacker that accelerates to the ball. He has the necessary cover skills and awareness to stay on the field. Great bend, flexibility and speed off the edge as a rusher.
Weaknesses:
A bit undersized and struggles to get off blocks once engaged. Needs to work on tackling after missing 16 the past two seasons. He relies on his athletic ability as a pass rusher. Needs to develop a pass rush repertoire and a go-to move. He's been injured thru out his playing career.
