Scouting
Report
The Good:
College defensive end that has potential
at outside linebacker in the NFL. Quick
off the snap out of a three point stance, rushes the edge with
speed and plays low to the ground with leverage. Strong
at the point of attack, holds his ground against blocks and rarely off his feet. Redirects to the action well, fluid changing
direction and fast to the flanks.
Works hard, pursues to get involved in the action
and attacks the ball carrier.
The
Bad: Takes off up the field,
over-pursues the
action and lacks a sustained burst of
speed.
The
Skinny: A little to small for consideration as a
pass rush specialist so must learn an entirely new
position but has the athletic numbers, intelligence and tenacity to
succeed.
