AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Pass Coverage Skills
 Shedding Ability
A solid athlete who's been a disruptive force in college, the ability to make plays in reverse will dictate if West has a spot on an NFL roster.


Biography:

Former linebacker who moved to defensive end as a sophomore and started the past three years. Senior totals were 34/6.5/2, after 36/4/3 as a junior.

Pos:

Undersized collegiate pass rusher who must now learn to play in space. Breaks down well playing with excellent leverage and rarely off his feet. Quickly changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack and makes plays down the line of scrimmage. Fast to the flanks and displays speed in every direction.

Neg:

Easily handled at the point by a single blocker. Rarely asked to do anything other than make plays up the field.
