Official Bio

Strengths:
Very good strength...Relentless and has a non-stop motor...Great tackler...Tough and physical...Can get a good push up the middle...Decent range and covers a lot of ground..Intense and aggressive..Hard worker..Durable...Has lots of experience.

Weaknesses:
Undersized and has to bulk up...Average athleticism...Isn't very quick or explosive and lacks a burst...Pretty limited as a pass rusher...Plays with poor leverage...Has a tough time shedding blocks....Marginal production...Limited upside....A 'tweener?

Notes:
Was a three-year starter in the Big Ten...Might also be able to play defensive end in a 3-4 scheme...Overachiever and a jack-of-all-trades but master of none...Does not have all the physical tools but makes up for it with his top intangibles...Isn't a star and probably not even a starter but will get an opportunity to make a roster.
