Draft Stock Chart will appear here in the coming months.

• Will move to outside linebacker in NFL.
• Stepped into the starting lineup for injured Greg Romeus in 2010.
• Pretty bad against the run.
• Gets overpowered and simply blocked out of the way when run at most of the time.
• Quick and a very good athlete.
• Gets good jumps off the snap, which gives him an upper hand against offensive linemen.
• Has the speed and fluid hips to stay with tight ends, maybe some slot receivers in pass coverage.
• Great motor.
• Very good in pursuit of ball carrier or QB.
• There are times when linemen block him by simply overpowering him.
• His spin move isn’t effective from what I’ve seen. Not many pass rush moves, his speed around the corner gets him to the QB most of the time.
• Inconsistent in using his hands effectively, but there are flashes of when he uses them well and then he uses his speed to zoom to the QB.
• No known character concerns.
