He has the tools to become a dominant run defender. Raw power & can catch a tackle off guard. His pass rushing ability is lacking right now but like you stated, Nielsen may be able to get more out of him than what KC was asked of him to do. I read a KC blog right after we signed him ... some tend to see him of a "clean up guy" at this stage of his career. Definitely needs to refine his game with better technique at camp.

Davenport, Kpassognon, Granderson are all somewhat "raw" but I think one could emerge as a force for us in 2021.
