Mark Humphrey/Associated Press

LB8

STRENGTHS

—Height (6'3"), weight (229 lbs), speed (4.66-second 40) prospect with a high ceiling.

—Top-tier burst when he attacks in the open field; easy-moving athlete.

—Fantastic length when he's breaking up passing windows and closing on the ball.

—Can run down ball-carriers from behind and has excellent speed and agility.

—Could become an explosive all-around linebacker with coaching and reps.

WEAKNESSES

—Needs to develop his instincts; slow to read and react at times and is more of a cleanup hitter than a leader.
