Position: OLB Class: Sr School: West Texas A&M Conference: Lone Star Ht., Wt.: 6'2, 240 40 Time: 4.58 Grade: 3.78 Selected by Cleveland Browns Round 2, pick 20 (52 overall)

BIO: All-Conference selection as a senior after leading the team with 104 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, also registering one sack, two INTs. Performed brilliantly at the Scouting Combine and was one of the best LBs. Played all three LB positions at West Texas A&M as a senior. POSITIVES: Productive and versatile LB best on the weak side. Breaks down, plays with leverage and displays a good head for the ball with quick recognition; takes good angles to the play. Possess a quick first step, fires up the field or collapses laterally. Fluid changing directions, displays good footwork getting through the traffic. Disciplined, keeps with his assignments and displays outstanding range. Gets depth on his pass drops, displays sideline-to-sideline skill. NEGATIVES: Undersized and slow shedding blocks once engaged at the point. Wraps up ball carriers, but has tackles broken. ANALYSIS: May need time to adjust to a better level of competition but possesses all the tools to eventually round into a complete linebacker and starter in the NFL. PROJECTION: Early Third Round
