Scouting Report

Assets:	A high-motor defender with an elite-level feel for the game. Always seems to be a step ahead. A punishing tackler that finishes his plays. Has great skills to get to the quarterback, stuff the run or drop back in coverage.
Flaws:	Not the best pure athlete at the position. May be too aggressive at times and will miss some tackles. Still developing his instincts at reading the quarterback.
Career Potential:	Quality middle linebacker with star tools.
