Scouting Report
He ranks among the best speed rushers in the league and specializes in the strip sack. Built long and lean (sleeker than many tight ends), he uses pure quickness and guile to beat blockers to the edge, explode the pocket and often rip the ball loose. His exceptional agility and stamina allow him to chase fleeing quarterbacks and pursue plays upfield. Is a bit too light to excel at defending the run and sometimes subs out on designated rushing downs.
Long Range Potential: Excellent edge pass rusher.
