Video:
Pros:
Impressive size and build, paired with outstanding mobility for his frame.
Strong at the point of attack, adept at recognizing blocks and sealing the edge against offensive tackles.
Efficient at disengaging from blocks, employing strength and a refined cross-chop to neutralize opponents.
Converts speed to power effectively during rushes, maintaining drive and pressure through contact.
Proficient in countering offensive lineman techniques, coupled with relentless drive and hustle, contributing to coverage sacks.
Displays agility and finesse in the initial steps, setting up tackles and swiftly countering with a repertoire of inside moves, power, or surface reduction.
Excels in block deconstruction and maintaining a robust anchor, benefiting from a solid center of gravity to withstand late challenges from blockers.
Cons:
Lacks elite quick-twitch capabilities, which narrows his pass-rush techniques beyond hand-play and power-driven strategies.
Average in directional changes, allowing well-footed offensive tackles to maintain blocks against finesse moves.
Displays some stiffness in ankles and hips, restricting his bend and agility at the rush’s apex.
Tendency to aim low in tackles, especially in open space, leading to missed opportunities.
While showing potential as a stand-up linebacker, his optimal fit might be as a hand-in-the-ground defensive end, leveraging a three-point stance for better leverage and attack initiation.
Despite his size/speed combination and overall athletic ability his tackling is inconsistent and isn’t great in run defense
