What the analysts are saying

• "Crafts his attack to his strengths and knows who he is. Uses arm length to keep tackles away from his frame at the top of the rush." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Inconsistent timing the snap, leading to late movements. Relies on hustle and power over edge athleticism." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
