Scouting Report
Can play all over the D-line, which makes him rather valuable at the National Football League level. Is quick enough to play defensive end (usually in a 3-4 scheme), but also strong enough to handle defensive tackle duties. The fact that he is a bit of a tweener also works against him (since he does not really fit any position as a starter, per se). However, he can make enough plays to stay on the field. Is better as a pass rusher than as a run defender.
Long Range Potential: Versatile defensive lineman.
