David is a linebacker who shows up on film with a clean, efficient style of play and a strong ability to finish tackles in space. The 44 solo tackles stand out right away he’s not just being part of the play, he’s the one ending it. He plays with good timing downhill, trusts his eyes, and does a solid job getting to the ball without over running plays.

Where David really starts to separate himself is in his impact behind the line. With 13 tackles for loss and 3 sacks, he shows he can step up and disrupt plays before they develop. He has a natural feel for when to shoot gaps, and when he gets a clean lane, he finishes with urgency. The 3 QB hurries add to that same picture he’s not afraid to step into pressure situations and force the quarterback off his spot.

David shows up on film as a disciplined and physical linebacker who consistently flows to the football with purpose. Reads plays quickly, diagnosing run versus pass, and attacks gaps with strong pursuit angles. Uses his hands effectively to shed blocks and wraps up ball carriers with solid tackling technique. In coverage, he moves fluidly, sticking with backs and tight ends while showing the ability to anticipate routes and make plays on the football. Also flashes playmaking instincts, filling lanes in the run game and creating opportunities to disrupt plays in the backfield.
