Tough, physical linebacker who did not play to expectations as a senior. Forceful moving up the field, strong at the point of attack and brings opponents down on initial contact trying to strip the ball away. Gets depth on his pass drops, stays with his assignments and disciplined. Quick and fluid changing direction, displays a burst of lateral speed and moves well to the flanks. Not instinctive or reactive as a senior, seemingly lost a lot of explosion and suddenness and out of sorts. Played back on his heels and was hesitant. Did rebound with a solid workout at the combine. Poor play as a senior and lower back problems will move him into the late part of day one. Late Third Round.
