Summary

He has a nice combination of size, speed, and AA. He is an excellent edge rusher with a good first step and initial quickness.. He has good range and will chase plays down from the backside. He fits perfectly as a 4-3 DE, and he plays with good overall intensity. He is at least adequate vs. the run, and could probably become a little more powerful and stout at the POA, but power football is not his game. This guy will make his living in the NFL as an outside pass rusher.
