Garner's tackle production is born from his length, play recognition and ability to flow to the ball with pursuit speed. However, his tape was noticeably affected by the level of competition. He has trouble slipping and taking on blocks and his success rate was noticeably diminished against an uptick in competition. He has good lateral quickness does a nice job of locating run lanes and stepping into them. Garner is a run-and-chase linebacker with good play recognition, but the toughness needs to match the traits for him to make it.
