Strengths:
Extremely tough...Super aggressive...Tremendous instincts...Decent timed speed...Reliable tackler...Excellent football IQ and is like an extra coach on the field...Reads and reacts quickly...Works through traffic well...Good awareness and is adequate in coverage...Does a nice job in pursuit...Has a non-stop motor...True leader...Fantastic work ethic...A terrific special teamer...Has a ton of experience...Productive.
Weaknesses:
Just average height and bulk with short arms and small hands...Not a great athlete...Range is somewhat limited...Has some trouble shedding blocks...Will get engulfed by massive offensive linemen...Lacks fluid hips...Marginal change of direction skills...Isn't much of a pass rusher.
Notes:
Was a four-year starter for the Horned Frogs...Began his college career as a fullback and redshirted in 2004...Moved to linebacker in 2005 and only missed one start the rest of his college career...Was named 1st or 2nd Team All-MWC all four years...Battled a number of painful injuries (wrist, shoulder, etc.) in college but he played through them...Tore the meniscus in his knee while working out at the Scouting Combine...An overachiever with just average physical tools but elite intangibles...Could play in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme...Will probably win a starting job but should at the absolute least be a valuable backup.
