Explosive as a pocket penetrator. Mixes fluid athletic agility with forceful power, doing a great job of immediately gaining a step on offensive linemen and blasting through the gap. Steady and consistent as a run-stuffer, and will get his share of sacks. Has the strength, size, and quickness to be a consistent playmaker. Doesn't get his hands up in passing lanes or show much dropping back to cover tight ends or other short-range pass targets. A bit of a late bloomer and doesn't always get the most out of his exceptional physical talent. Has struggled in the past with durability and conditioning problems. Must find his niche as a pro.

Long Range Potential: High-potential defensive tackle, when healthy and focused.
