@MarkSchofield He's 6'1", 236. Built like a small 43 OLB. Can't imagine him being EDGE in the NFL sustainably. Rotationally maybe.

@MarkSchofield Not the most explosive, but very strong. Can bend and burst, disengages well, awesome closing speed.

@MarkSchofield Definition of JAG IMO. Not even sure he's an EDGE. Prob OBLB. Special teams guy. Not many special traits.

@MarkSchofield Better athlete than given credit for, not a huge repertoire of pass rush moves, may have to play OLB in a 4-3

@MarkSchofield not an edge guru, but I cover his team, and all of his teammates and coaches love him. Genuinely good kid
