| Scouting Report | Potential |
| When fully developed, the ability to blitz from the corner position will be a strength. His agility level will rise to the average range but I wouldn't anticipate much more than that. I don't expect him to astonish anyone with his strength, but it should be ok. Seems to have an good feel for the position and should develop solid instincts over time. |
