Scouting Verdict

Former 5-star (n20 overall) whose career has badly stalled — just 13 tackles, 0.5 sack in 12 games in 2024 and a Reserve role now. Elite pedigree, almost no production; the talent keeps a flicker of a ceiling alive but the tape is a major disappointment. Grading the lack of production.

Ceiling · 8.9

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+5.3).

Floor · 2.1

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
