Strengths:
Dynamic play-maker with versatility to lineup all over the field. Superior athlete with good size. He is a natural man-to-man cover guy, that should excel at covering tight ends at the next level. An excellent pass-rusher from the linebacker or safety position. He can make an instant impact for a team as a return man. Fits best as a nickel linebacker or box safety.
Weaknesses:
Undersized if an NFL team decides to play him at linebacker full-time. He intercepted just one pass during his time at Michigan, not a ball hawking safety type. Needs to improve on shedding blocks in the run game.
