Summary He is a really an upfield guy that plays more like a DE than an OLB. He does not have much experience in pass defense and would need alot of work in pass drops to become adequate in cover skills. He is undersized as a DE, but he does a nice job of coming off the edge on his pass rush and shows good initial quickness in a burst and the ability to get to the QB. He takes good angles to the ball and plays with good leverage. He uses his hands well on his outside PR and can adjust on the move and shows some COD. He has excellent range and will chase down plays from sideline to sideline. He is not big enough to stay inside and play vs. the run and he can be engulfed by solid blockers. He doesn’t always do a great job of protecting his body, especially vs. inside plays and he must be in space to be effective. He will probably be a situational player in this draft and really fits as a 34 defense type rush end. He will not be big enough to be a nickle rusher as a DE and it is a huge projection to ask him to be a 43 OLB that can drop into coverage. This guy is a good football player that plays better than he tested at Indy and there are alot of NFL teams that find him an intriguing prospect.
