He is a player that would have entered the draft a year ago, but an injury made him decide to stay in school for his senior year. He is somewhat of a one-dimensional pass rusher type with good overall athletic ability, agility, balance and quickness. He shows some flash as an edge rusher and has a decent first step and can outquick most OTs. However, he is not a big physical guy, he struggles versus the run and doesn't always do a great job of getting off blocks. For all of his ability, he doesn't make a lot of plays and he does not dominate on a lower level of competition. He does have a nice upside but is a developmental type project and may take a couple of years to get ready.
