BALL GET-OFF (16/20)

• Solid quickness out of stance
• Quick reaction to the snap

RUN DEFENSE (17/20)

• Solid stack-and-shed ability — has trouble disengaging at times due to suboptimal arm length
• Solid anchor vs. double teams
• Showed pretty good playmaking range in 2018 Boston College game
• Good lateral anchor when flowing towards the sideline in pursuit of outside runs
• Good contact balance
• Solid tackler in space

POWER (11.25/15)

• Can generate a little bit of push with his bull rush, but his power moves aren’t highly effective

TECHNIQUE (10.5/15)

• Plays with leverage on a consistent basis
• Good hand placement vs. the run
• Pass rush approach is fairly simplistic — stab/chop is his go-to move, likes the dip-and-rip

• Can be slow to deploy counter moves

MENTAL PROCESSING (8/10)

• Typically finds the football quickly after engaging blockers
