PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hard-nosed, effort-based defensive end who stacked heavy sack production against a lower level of competition. Background as a wrestler gives him a greater understanding of leverage and allows him to punch above his weight at the point of attack. Lacks the desired twitch from a true defensive end and the mass of a full-time interior player, but his above-average length, effort and hand usage gives him a shot to become an NFL player at some point.
