Scouting Report
A real force coming off the edge. He has superb instincts as a pass rusher, with the athleticism to play outside linebacker and the power to line up at defensive end. Explosive off the snap, and uses his long arms to get an edge on blockers and bat pass attempts away. Also mobile and solid picking up the run. He's still somewhat raw in terms of overall efficiency in his play, and will take some unnecessary penalties. He needs to keep working on getting the most from his wingspan and hand-work to maximize his impressive athleticism in the NFL.
Long Range Potential: Strong, athletic, underrated pass rusher with raw starter tools.
