He lines up at MLB majority of the time and meets ball carriers in the hole. He's relentless in pursuit and makes his presence felt with swatted passes if he can't get to the quarterback.

He continuously puts his strength on display moving blockers out of his way with ease. He does a good job of setting the edge, he either forces the play back inside or makes a solo tackle if the run is strung out wide.
