Official Bio

Strengths:
Great bulk and a solid frame...Excellent instincts and awareness...Has a non-stop motor...Quick and plays faster than he times..Does a terrific job in pursuit and has a burst to close...Big hitter and reliable tackler..Able to step up and fill against the run...Does a decent job in zone coverage...Smart with a high football I.Q....Tough and strong...Hard worker and team leader with top-notch intangibles...Productive.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't have the ideal height that you would prefer...Stiff and does not have fluid hips...Is not a great athlete...Marginal timed speed...Struggles to match up in man coverage...Just an average blitzer with a limited pass rush repertoire..Has to do a better job of protecting his legs...Limited college starting experience ( 19 games ).

Notes:
Could play in either a 43 or a 34 defensive scheme...Contributed mainly on special teams as a true freshman..Began to emerge as a sophomore but really burst onto the scene as a junior in 2007 when he was named an All-American and the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year...Might not have all the physical tools you look for but is just a football player..The type who won't be a 1st rounder but will play like one.
