My motor, the ability never give up on the play. Being able to take the ball away when meeting the ball carrier. Smart, coachable instinctual with violent hands.

When you are breaking down film, what do you look for?

I look at the whole offensive line, size and weight, than I look for running and passing tendencies, from there it’s weaknesses as a pass blocker and run blocker, the QB tendencies as far as hot routes and changing the plays. And finally where do they want to go to with the ball and how that person protects the ball.
