Versatile, can line up at a variety of spots... Offers some schematic versatility, has experience in both fronts at Stanford... Is most comfortable with his hand in the dirt... Good character... Can contribute on special teams.

Negatives: Is not the most physically gifted athlete... Does not have much of an arsenal... Average closing speed... Tweener, struggles in coverage and would be a project as a 3-4 OLB... Needs to add an additional 8-12 pounds of bulk to play defensive end... Looks more comfortable rushing the quarterback than dropping into coverage...

Pulled hamstring during first 40-yard dash attempt at pro day.
