Positives: Has good athleticism with above average speed, quickness, body control and change of direction agility for his position...Has explosive acceleration off the snap... Plays with proper knee bend and leverage, flashing the ability to jolt the offensive linemen coming on the pass rush...Will flatten and squeeze vs. down blocks and fights pressure well on reach blocks...Shows good hand usage to keep blockers off him while maintaining separation...Aggressive hitter who will square up and wrap, bringing his hips properly to drive behind his hits...Consistently finds ways to bring the ball carriers down...Plays on his feet, using his hands effectively to protect his legs vs. low blocks...Has good back side chase quickness and a solid burst to get to the passer...Flips his hips properly and shows good rip-&-swim moves when bending the corner...Plays with all-out determination and effort...Displays good take-off quickness generating the pass rush...Adequate dropping off in pass coverage and will come off in a two-point stance in blitzing situations.
Negatives: Lacks the top-end speed to consistently beat blockers around the corner...Has very good pass rush instincts, but lacks the power to hold ground vs. run blocks directed right at him...Lets the blockers get into his chest too much when trying to move through the pile...Does not do an effective job handling low trash, struggling with agility to keep his feet moving when redirecting inside...Has good hand usage, except when engaging blockers (can't free up as he allows blockers to lock on to him)...Does not have the leg drive to take on pulling offensive guards on the traps...Does a nice job of chasing doewn the ball when left unblocked on the back side, but when he has to defeat a blocker, he will generally lose that battle.
