| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He should end up with good blitzing skills as he continues to improve in that area. He will someday have the type of agility that is very seldom seen by a guy of his size. With the amount of strength he's likely to develop, he won't often be overmatched. He's expected to become decent against the pass as his career progresses. |
