Positives: Can bring pressure off the edge. Quick off the snap and can dip his shoulder and flatten the corner. Adept at working back inside and stringing pass-rush techniques together. Can generate power with speed.

Negatives: Better moving forward than in reverse. Limited in pass coverage.

Summary: Good fit as an edge rusher in a 3-4.
