Pros: A muscular athlete who plays bigger than the usual 255-pound defender. Very quick off the ball, which allows him to shoot the gaps and gain nice penetration. Reads plays quickly and has the athletic ability to flatten out when coming down the line in pursuit. Can change directions and redirect fairly well and has made plays late on the down on effort and instincts.
Cons: He has good toughness and can be a physical player despite marginal size and he has been very productive in some big games. He can be late at times to read and react to a play and needs to be consistent using leverage and hands to shed blockers. He has added some pass rush moves and needs to continue to develop moves and technique to turn the corner more consistently.
Numbers: At the Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.61 seconds, had a 42-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot-7 broad jump and did 24 reps in the 225-pound bench press. As a senior, he started 12 games and had 40 tackles with 14 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks.
Skinny: Could help immediately as a pass rusher and become a fulltime starter after some technique development. Probable first day pick, maybe as early as a second round
