Defensively, he played almost a hybrid safety-linebacker role and had 54 tackles and 13 sacks, mostly coming off the edge in blitz situations.

Film Review Notes
Good-sized two-way athlete who stands out at receiver and safety. Shows some initial quickness getting off the line and is strong in contested catch situations. Has an athletic frame with strong hands and high level body control. Shows physicality as a safety and is a big hitter. A reactionary athlete who can quickly diagnose and get downhill in a hurry. Shows range and football instincts and even though receiver is his primary position, upside might be even higher long term as a safety.
