POSITIVES
— Team captain who shows leadership skills with his pre-snap communication, helping teammates get lined up and pointing out potential threats.
— Physical run defender who isn't afraid to throw his body around and has some pop behind his pads when coming downhill or blitzing.
— Good at reading zone runs to put himself in a position to get unblocked tackles for short gains.
— Decent lateral movement skills to scrape or work over the top as a run defender.
