He is the most undersized guy in this group and not only does he lack bulk, but he is also short. He is however, a sideline to sideline player with a great motor and excellent productivity. He has good overall AA and balance and an explosive 1st step as a pass rusher. Although he is small, he plays with surprisingly good leverage and puts himself in great position to make plays. He is at his best when he is uncovered and chasing from the backside. However, he is a real liability when teams run at him or he has to get into a physical style of play. He doesn't really have the frame to get a lot bigger and he may not have the feet to be a "drop" type OLB. As a result, he may be a pass rush specialist on the NFL level that can contribute on special teams and give a defense 20-25 snaps a game on 3rd down. He could develop into a solid contributor, but part-time players don't get drafted real high.
