Strong but stiff inside linebacker whose feet and hips simply can't respond to what his eyes are telling them. Zandier has good toughness to bang between the tackles using impressive instincts in diagnosing and moving with the play. When runners get outside the tackle box, he is in serious trouble as he lacks the pursuit speed or open-field agility to be a consistent tackler. He sees the game like a pro prospect but the athletic traits are too far below the standard.
