Very intelligent competitor with a ton of physical upside. Has great length and plays with outstanding leverage. Always in control and does a good job driving on the ball. Ability to be physical at the LOS will improve as he gets stronger, and this will also help to improve on tackling. Understanding of the position will get him and keep him on the field--Burke Hayes
