Scouting
Report
The Good:
Forceful run defender best in a straight
line. Disciplined, plays
assignment football and quick to read or anticipate the action.
Strong, holds his ground against blocks and bulls his way up the field squaring into the
tackle, wrapping up, then easily bringing
the ball carrier down on initial contact.
Gets adequate depth on his pass drops.
The
Bad:
Lacks the quick or fluid change of
direction, not fast laterally nor does he redirect well. Poor size/speed
numbers; built for the weak-side but plays like a strong-side
linebacker.
The
Skinny: Needs to prove at the Senior Bowl he can
defend the pass and make plays out to the sidelines if he's to break into the drafts first day.
