Scouting Report
Assets
Explosive out of his stance and has great acceleration. Left tackles just can't get position on him. Pursues plays well and doesn't quit, and punishes quarterbacks. Has become a multi-dimensional pass-rusher.
Flaws
Like most speed rushers, he struggles when the opponent runs right at him. Gets worn down by double teams. Has had injury problems.
Career potential
Pro Bowl end.
