Amir has a chance to take control of the second level of the defense this season. He plays with an attacking mindset and has the range to stay involved when plays stretch outside the tackles. One of the biggest things to watch will be his ability to recognize plays quickly and turn that recognition into stops before the offense can get comfortable. With more responsibility coming his way, Amir could develop into the kind of linebacker who consistently finds himself around the action.

Amir’s film stands out early and consistently shows versatility in his game. On his first rep, he tracks a motion receiver out wide and has no issues carrying him in space, showing comfort in coverage and good awareness when matched up away from the box. He moves well laterally, stays balanced in open field situations, and doesn’t get caught out of position when offenses try to create mismatches. He also feels comfortable being able to play with his hand in the dirt and come off the edge. Amir film shows he can make things happen on the defensive side of the ball.

Amir had a solid showing at linebacker last night and competed with good energy throughout his reps. He stayed active in drills, moved well laterally, and showed effort when breaking downhill to the ball. There were moments where his instincts showed up, especially when he reacted quickly and stayed around the action. He didn’t back down from contact and continued to compete even as things sped up. As the session went on, he looked more comfortable and started to settle into a better rhythm overall. A steady performance with room to keep growing.
