| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He's got a workman like attitude that should help him become pretty good at blitzing the quarterback. His steadily improving agility is expected to be a real plus. As he develops, scouts think he will learn to play with a good amount of controlled aggression. He's still learning, but coaches believe he will become an excellent pass defender. |
