Official Bio

Strengths:
Tough and physical...Very instinctive...A solid and reliable tackler...Displays good hands and ball skills...A playmaker who is always around the action...Extremely smart and a team leader with top intangibles...Experienced and a 4-year starter.

Weaknesses:
Does not have outstanding timed speed...Is a bit undersized...Did not always play against elite competition...Lacks the range, quickness and closing speed you look for...Will not match up well in coverage...His overall pro upside may be limited.

Notes:
A three-time Academic All-American...Was a prolific and highly decorated player at the Division I-AA level but just doesn't have the physical tools that translate well to the pros...Best shot to make it might come as a backup and special teams ace.
