| Scouting Report | Potential |
| I feel pretty certain that he will develop good blitzing skills with just a little more work. He probably won't ever be dominating against the run but he should become pretty solid. He's got some work to do but, at the end of the day, I think he'll have decent speed. All he needs is more time to learn his responsibilities and his instincts could carry him to the next level. |
