| Scouting Report | Potential |
| When he develops a better feel for the system, he should become a pretty good blitzing linebacker. He works out with a ferocity that should ensure that he will turn into one of the strongest linebackers in the nation. He is projected to be a physical playmaker with tackling ability in the upper echelon. He'll probably never be a real instinctual player but he'll develop a decent 'feel' for the game. |
