Summary

He is a guy that came out with very little college experience to become a dominate factor at ASU. He is a tough, hard nosed guy that has a nice frame, good strength and explosiveness. He is not a particularly great athlete, but he claws and fights his was to the ball on every play. He is not a great technician, and he is not a real refined player, but he is around the ball all the time. Because of his production and effort, some teams seem to have fallen in love with him, and some reports even have him going in the 1st round, but that seems to be too high based on his lack of experience and some other minor problems. NFL teams are sometimes hesitant to pick players with limited college careers, especially in the 1st round, but this will be an interesting guy to watch on draft day, and he could develop into a solid, one gap type penetrator.
