Scouting
Report
The
Good: Explosive athlete that continually blows up
plays behind the line of scrimmage. Quick
off the snap with a nice first step, plays low to the ground with
leverage displaying force and speed in any direction of the field.
Collapses from the outside to defend the run, moves well laterally and pursues the action with speed.
Fast enough to run down ball carriers from the backside and quick closing on the passer.
Effectively uses his hands to keep blockers off him, redirects well to the action and
squares into tackles, wrapping up. Excellent
range and movement skills; effectively plays ten yards off the line of scrimmage on zone blitzes getting depth on his pass drops.
The
Bad: Needs to mature physically and add bulk. Seemingly
takes wide angles at times to avoid blocks and overpursues the action. Just
gets better and better the more he plays.
The
Skinny: Could be used as an
outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme and may also be considered for the
strong side in a 4-3. Then again, a
better version of Jason Taylor to this point in his career and
potentially a dominant defensive end in the future.
