Film Review Notes
Versatile playmaker who has shown the ability to play defensive end, outside linebacker, and inside 'backer over the last two seasons. Has a long, athletic frame, runs well, and is a big hitter. Has the quickness to shoot gaps and make plays at the line of scrimmage and the physicality to take on blockers, disengage and make a play. Shows excellent football instincts and always seems to be around the football. Can read and react, then gets downhill in a hurry. Plays with a lot of fire and emotion and looks like a future captain at the next level.
