A top-tier tackler who's also exceptionally well-rounded: can blitz and will also pick off passes. A supreme athlete and competitor. Has the personality and drive to lead a defense and he's as hard a worker as they come. Brings superior awareness and initiative to the middle of the 'D.' Doesn't have a particularly big frame for the position, leading to problems with durability (especially considering how physical and active he is). Still has some problems handling jumbo-sized, overpowering D-linemen.

Long Range Potential: Star inside linebacker, when healthy.
