Scouting
Report
The Good:
Quick, heady linebacker that makes a lot of plays against the ball.
Immediately picks up pass cover assignments, displays good
range and gets depth on his pass drops.
Snuffs out the ball carrier and effective against the run.
The Bad: Undersized, slow to shed and gets caught up in the wash moving
laterally to the action.
The Skinny:
A lesser version of Ray Lewis, undersized, quick and tough, though
not nearly as
explosive to the ball or action.
Move to the weak-side is possible though his pass cover skills are not
outstanding.
