Official Bio

Strengths:
Super productive....Excellent instincts and awareness....Has a non-stop motor....Is more quick than fast...Terrific in pursuit...Reliable tackler...A hard worker and team leader with elite intangibles...Nice special teams potential...Has lots of experience.

Weaknesses:
Undersized and lacks both the height and bulk you look for....Did not face a lot of top competition...Just average in coverage at best..Has a hard time taking on and shedding blockers...Isn't real strong or physical...Doesn't have great timed speed.

Notes:
Was a four-year starter...Doesn't have all of the physical tools you look for but his intangibles are off the charts...Isn't an ideal fit for every scheme but could make it as a backup and special teamer in the right situation...Is similar to Freddie Keiaho.
