PLAYER ANALYSIS
Oliver is an extremely physical interior thumper who plays his best football when allowed to play downhill and bring his pads into play. Unfortunately, Oliver is more segmented than fluid in his movement and his lack of play speed and acceleration will be a big issue when it comes to chasing down running backs headed for the perimeter. Oliver's lack of speed and ability to cover could force him into trying to earn a role as a backup inside linebacker for a 3-4 defense.
