Utilizes a fast flow, one-gap attacking 4-3 front that prioritizes speed and penetration to disrupt offensive schemes.
Immediate starter as a WILL linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a productive three-down middle linebacker.
A traditional 3-4 two-gap system that requires linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks at the point of attack.
His athleticism and instincts are a strong fit for a 'read and react' system, allowing him to play downhill and make plays in space.
Selected #84 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Washington.
