If you are looking for a guy that measures up athletically, he is the one. He has a nice combination of size and speed and he has the range to cover from sideline to sideline. He is at his best when he is in space and in the open field and he is a solid open field tackler. He will need some work on his pass coverage, but he certainly has the skills to become better in that area. He is not an accomplished run defender and he struggles to take on blocks and shed. His production does not quite match up to his athletic ability and at this time, he may be classified as a better athlete than football player. However, NFL coaches are in love with his measurables and he will likely be drafted high as a developmental type player.
