– Plays with good overall power against the run and as a pass rusher
– Shows consistent and solid burst off the ball
– Uses hands well to shed blocks as a pass rusher with multiple ways to win (swipe, rip, bull, has attempted a spin)
– Power to collapse the interior of the pocket
– Able to get off blocks in the run game
– Versatile and moved up and down the line, can play end or nose tackle
– Odd-front, “pro-style” defense asked to stunt and twist like 3-4 NFL defenses

– Forces four hands on him in the run game
– Good production and experience
The Bad
– Isn’t a twitched-up athlete as a pass rusher, won’t make plays in space
– Bull rush can lose steam
– Must use levers better in the run game to avoid being chest-to-chest with blocker and losing sight of the football
– May not be a high-impact pass rusher
– Doesn’t always finish plays as a tackler and left plays on the field
– Could stand to play with more effort chasing the ball across the field
