| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Disrupting the quarterback via the blitz is something he will be excellent at in the future. The agility he is expected to develop will someday help him do some tremendous things on the football field. He's got a good, solid base and should be able to develop an above average amount of strength. As he develops a better feel for the game, his instincts will help his play immensely. |
