Scouting Report Potential He'll keep improving until he is among the best ILB's at busting up the middle and disrupting the play. As hard as he works, I expect him to develop jaw dropping strength in the not too distant future. He'll eventually play with the type of aggression usually seen only at the professional level. Keep an eye on this young man because he's going to turn into a devastating tackler.
