What is very interesting is the Scout's comments, good thing we have a QB prospect that can also play DL:
Scout’s Take: Tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee during a practice in October. Has also had surgery on ACL in left knee in 2011. Is normally a tackle but has played also played some end in his career. Initially quick moves off the snap. Can get some push and penetration. Will hold up block at the point off attack. Fight to beat the low block. Did have a play or two where he got knocked down inside on down block. Showed nice quickness off the swim move. Can be disruptive off the edge. Gets pressure on the move. Will fight down the line of scrimmage. Likes to jump in the gap and be disruptive. Can get around the corner. Relentless effort, hard player to stop when he shoots the gap. Has first step quickness, explosive player that needs to really win on that first step. As an end will chase from the backside. Looks more suited to play as the three in this scheme but has line up as the one some. If knee checks out in late April at the rechecks in Indianapolis, is a player that has to be on the Cowboys radar because of how well he fits this scheme.
