Nimble and quick-footed, and both a hard hitter & tough tackler. Very well-rounded, with good size and solid speed. Athletic enough to adjust in space, and generally makes patient, smart reads as the action unfolds. Is very powerful and strong for his size. Tends to be overly aggressive at times, and occasionally gets caught off-balance trying to go for the big hit rather than the sure tackle. Not much of a pass-rusher (as he doesn't show many the moves or much shiftiness for penetrating the backfield). Could get even more out of his above-average physical gifts.

Long Range Potential: Quality inside linebacker.
