Strengths

• For an off-ball linebacker, size, length and athleticism are ideal
• Plays hard and physical, intense competitor
• Versatile player, wore a lot of hats in Georgia’s defense and was heralded for his leadership and communication
• Strong tackler, took good angles to the ball and had the length and strength to consistently get ball carriers on the ground
• Doesn’t avoid or shed blocks often, but throws his body into them and at least clogs up space. Rarely driven out of his gap or bullied
• Really good interior blitzer, explosive mover who can cross face and beat IOL with euro-steps and swim moves. Will detonate on running backs in pass pro
