| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He works especially hard at running drills in practice and should develop good speed for an ILB. He will someday have the type of agility that is very seldom seen by a guy of his size. He should end up with enough speed to be competitive as an ILB. He'll become a very active, aggressive inside linebacker in the future. |
