Possessed strong credentials as a pass-coverage specialist; he had the size, speed and length to handle the fastest tight ends. An extremely fluid athlete with sideline-to-sideline range, he also had excellent balance and agility. Excelled at reading the quarterback, driving to the ball and breaking up plays. Persistent tackling issues hindered his development and cause his workload to diminish. Was solid on special teams.

Long Range Potential: Situational linebacker.
