Film study
Frankly, I think he’s seriously underrated. He’s good really good vision, cuts well and hits holes as they open. If you try to arm tackle him, he’s going to break loose. He runs with purpose and is tough to bring down one-on-one. He’s also much faster than he’s given credit for. Ignore him at your own risk.
