“He’s an explosive player, very explosive. A very disruptive player. In college, I would say his stats might have been a little bit deceiving because a lot of times he was the disruptive person on the play, but he wasn’t the guy who ended up making the tackle, or it wouldn’t be on the stat sheet. But the reason the play wasn’t successful was his penetration and ability to be disruptive. I think he has a good knack for that.
