From NFL.com:
Strengths
- Frame and lower body thickness to hold up inside
- Reads quarterback's eyes and jumps the passing lane
- Weaves and closes with some juice as blitzer
- Flexed wide and helped smother receiver screens in 2018
- Plays with thud behind his pads
- Good strength to play through soft edges
- Short-area burst to close and pursue in space
- Finishes what he starts as a tackler
- Bodies, wraps and drags down runners with good efficiency
Weaknesses
- Held out of eight games in 2019 for his role in NCAA violations pertaining to an academic tutor
- Plays with extra steps and wasted motion
- Needs to play with better control and body composure between tackles
- Delay to trust and trigger prevents him from making more plays
- Tall tackler who needs to drop his aim
- Takes some poorly misjudged angles to the football
- Allows climbing blocks to get into him first
- Instincts to scrape with timing and leverage are below average
