Summary

He has been described as a guy with "1st round ability, but middle round baggage". He has been in some trouble in the past and was dismissed from the LSU team in 1996, but people around him say his problems are behind him. He is an excellent athlete with great mobility and natural pass rush skills.. He shows a little burst off the corner, and he does a good job separating from blockers, and protecting his body and getting to the play. He plays with good leverage and overall strength, although he could use a little more bulk to hold up vs. the run. This is an interesting guy who may have his best football in front of him, and if he stays out of trouble, he could be an interesting guy on draft day.
