He is an athletic "space" type OLB who has good movement and range, but really lacks bulk and strength. He can be overpowered at the point of attack, and although he is a willing hitter, he is not real physical or explosive. He has some potential as a cover OLB and could fit in in nickel situations or as an occasional pass rusher off the corner. However, if he is forced to take on blockers and become a physical player, he will be outmatched. He must be able to utilize his AA and speed in space. He is not an every down player, but has a chance to be a situational player and contribute on special teams.
