Positives: Solidly built, hard-hitting, quick, instinctive player with a nose for the ball. Quick trigger. Plays with a lot of physicality. Fights through blockers. Very good range and pursuit. Leader-type personality.
Negatives: Overly aggressive at times and will occasionally get caught out of position, especially against the pass. Needs some work on pass coverage.
Summary: A player who really shows up on film. Still needs some refinement on pass defense, but can make an impact.
