"Yoked up, gap crashing throwback that ate his athletic testing but isn't as field fast as he timed and could be a matchup liability in coverage."
Strengths:
Yoked up, gap crasher with impressive strength and recognition. Secure tackler that closes quickly. Sheds in a blink and wades through trash well.
Effective blitzer that forces big boy blocks. Solid awareness in zone coverage. Ate his athletic testing.
Weaknesses:
Clunky change or direction and tight in space. Despite timed speed, isn't field fast and is a matchup liability in coverage. One year wonder.
Overall:
Throwback style guy who's recognition and power vs the run are his best attributes. Finds the ball efficiently in traffic and is a sound tackler. Instincts are generally on point despite his inexperience.
Flashes competence in zone coverage and gets in passing lanes but is likely a liability in man. He lacks great speed and is clunky trying to change direction.
