New England's hybrid 3-4 defense relies on versatile linebackers who can rush the passer, cover tight ends, and play the run effectively.
Immediate special teams contributor with the upside to develop into a starting every-down outside linebacker who can impact all three phases of the game.
A traditional 4-3 Cover 2 defense that asks linebackers to simply fill gaps and play zone coverage without much pass rush or man coverage responsibility.
His athleticism and versatility make him a strong fit for a defense that values adaptable, multi-faceted linebackers, especially one that disguises coverages and pressures.
Selected #52 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Southern Miss.
