Lacks elite speed...Could stand to bulk up a bit...Needs to add some more moves to his pass rush repertoire..Can get overpowered at the point of attack..Will have to improve his hand use...Struggles to shed blocks once massive offensive tackles are able to lock on...Must do a much better job of protecting his lower extremities.
