Official Bio

Has nice size and great bulk...Very hard worker...Has a non-stop motor...Excellent awareness and instincts...Does a terrific job versus the run...Good tackler...Strong and powerful....Understands leverage...Pretty versatile...Team leader and captain.

Weaknesses:
'Tweener who might not have a true pro position...Marginal athleticism...Does not have great speed and quickness...Not very explosive and lacks a burst...Does not offer much as a pass rusher...He needs to use his hands better...Upside is limited.

Notes:
Father Greg was a coach at Notre Dame and Florida and is currently the Baltimore Ravens linebacker coach...Was also a great rugby player in high school...He could project to either defensive end or defensive tackle at the pro level...Overachiever who certainly doesn't have all of the physical tools you look for but gets by on top notch intangibles...He will never be a star but could make a roster and contribute.
