He is an interesting physical specimen who has not played up to his natural ability. He has had some character problems in his past, but he seems to be maturing, and there is an interesting upside here. He has outstanding measurables and had an excellent combine, showing explosiveness, quickness, and agility. He has added weight and strength over the last year, and although he's not a perfect every down player yet, he is close to getting big enough to play vs. the run. He does have some up-field skills and could develop into an interesting edge pass rusher. He is not a finished product, but there are certainly some things to develop.
