At his best, he forces offenses to change their entire run games. He can demand double teams, redirect the flow of plays and even fight through traffic to make stops near the sideline. He's not always at his best though, mostly because his hands are light -- he doesn't use them well enough to shed blocks. His burst off the line (which is excellent) and strength are irrelevant when he lets linemen control his chest.

That's a coaching point though, and I believe he'll improve at the NFL level. He'll never be a pass rushing threat, but can play one or two gaps effectively and will be responsible for making a lot of future teammates look better.
