Official Bio

 		Strengths:
Excellent athleticism..Elite speed (4.6) and quickness when in shape..Outstanding natural pass rusher...Is a terror off the edge...Great range and does a terrific job in pursuit...Has a relentless motor...Does a good job of getting off blocks...Decent strength and power...Pretty durable....Very productive...He offers some versatility.

Weaknesses:
'Tweener who may not have a true pro position...Isn't stout at the point and gets pushed back...Does not do a great job versus the run...Toughness and work ethic are questionable...Poor conditioning and stamina..Has trouble handing pressure & stress...Is he dedicated to and truly love the game?....Serious off-the-field issues.

Notes:
Could also be a 3-4 outside linebacker at the next level..Actually began his college career as a running back...Was considered a likely first round pick heading into his senior year...In 2007 he took a medical leave for undisclosed reasons (rumored to be bipolar disorder) and upon return his weight had ballooned up toward the 290 pound mark..If he can get his weight back down into the 255-260 range and keep his head on straight could be an elite pass rusher but those are some big "If's" at this point..The vast majority of teams won't even have him on their boards and he is probably too much of a risk to consider until the late rounds...The definition of a Boom or Bust prospect and it will require a real leap of faith to take a flyer on him.
