Looking at some of the tape, he has a tendency to tackle like a safety - lead with the shoulder or go for the feet. He was not for the most part wrapping up or delivering hits. His speed was good, but he was often slow at the start of the plays. Some of the slow start may have been play design. He needs more upper body and arm strength to have a chance of fighting through blocks and to be better at wrapping up on tackles.
