Pros 

• Immense size for the middle linebacker position.
• Muscular frame that's packed for power.

• Plays cleanup better than any linebacker in the draft.

 

• Reads the trenches well in run defense without getting caught in the wash of the line.

 

• Keeps his pads low at the line and does a decent job of avoiding blockers.

 

• Absorbs charging running backs like a sponge and slams them down at the point of contact.

 

• Game over once he wraps up.

 

• Powerful hands help stuff runners without them escaping.

 

• Keeps eyes in the backfield and never seems to be disillusioned.

 

• Best awareness among linebackers by far with his ability to sniff out run plays like a blood hound. 

 

• Truly embodies "Quarterback of the defense" with his style of play and leadership skills.

• Highly communicative defensive leader that was given t

Cons

• Lacks sideline-to-sideline speed.

• Not much of a pass rush threat up the middle and likely won't be one in his career.

 

• Not much versatility currently as prospect and probably best suited to stay at middle linebacker.

 

• Lacks that burst on the football in run defense to accelerate quickly to the runner.

 

• Wish he played with more nastiness as a tackler given his immense size.

 

• Too often allows blockers to reach him.

 

• Man coverage capabilities are questionable when covering tight ends down the seam.

​

• Not aggressive enough when taking on blockers in the second level.

​

• Needs to deconstruct blocks better.
