POSITIVES Plays like a former quarterback at linebacker, taking aggressive or disciplined angles based on down and distance situations. Physically stops ball-carriers in their tracks with little to no forward push in short yardage situations. Rare speed and overall athleticism for the position, which is only highlighted by his high motor and sideline-to-sideline playing style. Foot speed leads to high-impact plays both as a blitzer off of the edge and in coverage. Consistently wins against running backs and tight ends in pass protection. Great run-pass instincts when keying offensive linemen on reads.
NEGATIVES Lacks the same level of physicality he has as a tackler when he is engaged with offensive linemen and is asked to stack and shed.
