Position: LB
Height: 6-2
Weight: 239
College: Wyoming
Draft: 236th overall by Dallas in 2015
Report: Suffered an ACL tear in the 7th game of 2014 season but was still selected by the Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2015 draft – selection 236 overall.

While at Wyoming played both inside and outside linebacker spots. Was an effective wrap-up tackler in the hole. Flows well to the ball. Outstanding playing speed and foot quickness. Can work in and out of the hole. Can avoid blocks. Will play downhill quickly. Nose for the ball. Was normally in the pile.

Thought he had a much better chance of making plays when he was on the move instead of taking on blocks at the point. Not the type to play toe-to-toe and be good at it. Needs to be on the move. Effort to chase is outstanding. Plays with some balance when going down the line. Gets in the most trouble when he gets hooked up.

Not to compare, but as far as strengths and weaknesses go, sounds an awful lot like Sean Lee's pre-draft write-ups. I doubt he has the nose for the ball Lee does, though.
