PLAYER ANALYSIS
Active inside linebacker lacking the desired length and pursuit speed NFL teams covet. He always seems to be around the ball, but he's more of a dirty-work linebacker who rallies to the ball than solo stopper. He has good vision and instincts to find the ball-carrier and is very physical in taking on blocks and in striking running backs. He's light on the physical traits and third-down talent teams look for, so he may need to prove he can step in and star as a special-teams demon.
