He is a little bit of a tweener on several NFL boards and could either be listed as a DE or OLB. However he is a good football player with intelligence, good overall instincts and a great feel for the game. He is a very competitive guy with decent overall speed and AA and has a knack for finding the football. He has not been an overly productive player on the college level, but he has enough intensity and natural talent to make him a very interesting developmental prospect. He is not as talented as his Husker teammate Mike Rucker, but it would not be shocking to see this guy become a better football player. He can certainly fit as a rush OLB in a 34 scheme and he should be outstanding on special teams. This may be the kind of guy that you want on your team and he could be a mid-round steal.
